Stars in the planetarium,

As they whirled overhead, 

Awesome.

Viewed in yester millenium,

What a dynamic spread,

For some.


Fishes in the aquarium,

How lovely they all said.

Buy some,

And also an anthurium

For the vase by the bed,

Saw some

  1. Brilliant! You made it look so easy! The rhymes are clever (and amusing) and I can feel the beat. I found it hard getting beat and rhyme to play nicely together.
