When a Planet Start to Spin

---

The Sun and the Moon had a child.

The child’s name was Earth.

When Earth was small,

the Moon reflected the Sun’s light.

From up close the Moon would profess

to be the source of all that’s bright.

“The Sun will burn, do not turn,”

the Moon whispered every night.

For years, Earth orbited the Sun.

But towards the Sun, it did not turn.

The Sun watched from afar, with a grin.

For a star must know there’ll be

a magic show

when his planet starts to spin.

The End.
