The Daily Poem

THE WORLD ISN'T FLAT ANY MORE

The world isn't flat any more

The corners and pillars aren't four

No far distant reaches

Where dragons give speeches

Then roast you for dinner like boar.

There's nothing above or below

No fires of hellish red glow

And nothing goes round us

But rock lunar moon dust

Above us the star millions go.

The mysteries of earthward and sky

Corrected dissected and dry

Are there on the shelves

No faeries no elves

No giants to sit with and cry.

I miss the dark ages of yore

The fable rich stories of lore

With the web and the net

I forget to regret

The world isn't flat any more.
