Enthused and Amused

The earth has got to be flat

And I’ll tell you the reason why

Because people living in Australia

Are looking up at the sky.

If the earth were spherical

No way that could have occurred

Since they would be down under

And that I cannot picture.

As a sphere I would imagine

They would never see the sky

But since the earth is really flat

Anyone can see the reason why.

I know that you are laughing

And you think that I am mad

But having carefully studied this

I find it more than just a fad.

Those so called photos from NASA

Had me fooled a long time

But I discovered it was just a trick

To mess around with my mind.

As you know and I know too

A sphere has a shape like a ball

So that people at the bottom of it

From it would likely fall.

But since the earth is truly flat

That is not the likelihood

For nobody has ever fallen off

As on a sphere some really would.

On a clear and cloudless night

Take a good look at the moon

It bears the shape of a simple disk

So it’s flat you can assume.

Extrapolate that to the earth

And you would see just what I mean

Like the moon the earth is flat

And not round as many have deemed.

  

The people in Columbus’ day

Were definitely of the right notion,

Columbus never proved them wrong

On account of the size of the ocean.

You see the oceans of the earth

Are huge beyond our measure

But we pretend to know their size

And also their hidden treasure.

We have swallowed Columbus’ lie

Even though reality says otherwise,

It is so stuck within our minds

That flat earth believers we despise.

Draw a picture of the earth

Then draw the people on the sides

Now examine what you have drawn,

Reality and fiction you’ve reconciled.

Do you see the ones at the top?

They are likely to stay in place

But very few do live in that spot,

Why, that would be a colossal disgrace.

For that is one of the coldest spots

That not many people would inhabit

So if the earth were really round

Not many people would be living on it.

Those along the sides and bottom

Would long have fallen off

Unless of course they are stuck with glue,

At such I would have to scoff

I know that your glue is gravity

That is the reason you would give,

But with those at the bottom upside down

How would you expect them to live?

The final point to make is this

You argue that the earth is spinning,

Stop for a moment and think about that

By now you must be grinning.

Already you have a problem

So that you have to stick people on,

Add to that a spinning earth

And those at the top would soon be gone. 

“Put on your seat-belts everyone

You are in for a turbulent ride.”

I’m just joking; there’s no need for that,

The earth is flat: no bottom, no sides.

If you must, be enthused and amused

But please don’t be confused.

You can believe whatever you choose

But please don’t fall for Satan’s ruse.

He knows how to enthuse and amuse,

He knows how to bemuse and confuse,

His objective is to misuse and abuse

Until the hope of salvation you lose.
