There’s nothing there; just emptiness

A void so deep and dark

That you could fall forever

And never make a mark

No stars to twinkle merrily

No moons to show the sun

Just a darkness made of black

With nowhere left to run

This is what I think I’d see

If the Earth were really flat

And I looked right off the edge

Just an endless sea of black

Like the deepest, darkest well

Without a wish to make

I’m so glad the Earth is round

And that’s not a chance I’d have to take.
