PRELUDE
The Universe is more
than Space.
In fact, it's bigger than any place
that you will ever see or know--
it's up above and down below
It circles 'round and 'round about
and tumbles in and bumbles out
and it contains all sorts of things;
hobby horses, giant rings
and many beings large and small,
and some that we can't see at all!
And there are lots of
planets, too,
more than monkeys in a zoo.
I'll bet if you could count them all,
and started when you were very small,
no matter just how old you'd get,
you'd never find them all, and yet
this tale tells of only two,
and one I know you know. You do!
That one, of course, is Planet Earth.
It is the planet of your birth.
I was born on this world too,
and Uncle Louie, Sister Sue,
your Mom and Dad, the kids next door,
and many, many millions more.
But just for now, let's
talk of one--
who came from far beyond the sun... |
