SPENCER PONDERS THE THEORY OF GRAVITY

My third child, Spencer:

...I'm gonna shoot for the moon but I'm sure I'll hit the stars...

SPENCER PONDERS THE THEORY OF GRAVITY

His eager mind thought and thought
as he laid in bed one night.
He could not hold his young mind back
as his many thoughts took flight.

"I wonder what is going on--
up in the sky," said he.
"And just exactly what is this force
known as gravity?"

So he gathered all his science books
and he studied night and day.
His mind absorbed many wonders
and his study became his play.

Is it up or down? I've just got to know.
And he pulled plans from his pocket.
"I'll get me a can of super fuel
and I'll fly me an awesome rocket."

Never mind that the fields are very dry
And that fires can be dreary.
'Cause, this gravity's got me puzzled
and I've got to test my theory."

So up he shot that high tech "rock"
And it came down in a flury.
"Why gravity must be down, not up,
'Cause it landed in a hurry!"
