Flat Earth Society

I met a guy the other day,

And this is what he had to say--

And yes, he says he is for real--

Despite the leaps of science, he

Says that he must disagree

For he has something sounder to reveal:

"Come join our Flat Earth Society.

Don't fear notoriety.

Come on: there's no degree of risk.

Just be a flat-Earther AND

Help the world to understand

That Earth is not a globe, it is a disc."

Astounded, I asked, "How can I

Accept your theory? Tell me why,

When that was disproved so long ago."

He said that science isn't true;

Scientists don't have a clue.

He knows because the Bible told him so.

I asked how he can prove his case.

Photos shot from outer space

Show that Earth is round instead of flat.

"Conspiracy, for goodness' sake!"

He said, "Those photos all are fake.

Flat Earth News is really where it's at."

He said, "You see: we allege

Antarctica is on the edge;

The Arctic is the center our plate.

Scientists all severely

Hurt us with their theories clearly.

Flat Earth truths are what we propagate."

Obviously, it makes no sense

When certain people are that dense

To try to reason with their addled brain.

As scary as it is, I guess

I have to say I must confess

It's humorous to hear their strange refrain:

"Come join our Flat Earth Society.

Don't fear notoriety.

Come on: there's no degree of risk.

Just be a flat-Earther AND

Help the world to understand

That Earth is not a globe, it is a disc."
