Silent gratitude isn't much use to anyone.  ~G.B. Stern

Gravity
 
Gravity had the hardest job on earth
And was so very proud of itself
Such an honor, to have this responsibility
Keeping everyone grounded, yet mobile
It was a a juggle of ease for Gravity
 
But sometimes
 
Gravity felt unappreciated
No one marveled, at gravity's consistency
Or round the clock dedication
 
In fact
 
To add insult to injury
Nobody mentioned gravity at all
Unless they wanted to avoid it
 
The ingrates!
 
They talk about ways to avoid me
So they could go flying off
Like the birds and insects
 
I have a pact with those creatures
I allowed them flight
And they agree never to leave the earth
It has been that way forever
 
Besides I find them amusing
When they bite the humans
Or drop (with my help) organic matter
Right on their heads

(Gotta Laugh)

 

Oh yes....and the invisible flying pigs

 
I hold the humans tight
Make their structures possible
Their games, their food supply
 
I keep the oceans pooled
 
 
I am their anchor
 
The basis of ALL safety and security
 
Yet I go unappreciated
 
Gravity thought and thought
Becomming angrier
 
Feeling unappreciated, and
Worse of all
 
INVISIBLE!!
 
So a decision was reached
 
Gravity would leave
 
No announcemnts, just up (haha)
And go
 
Let them see, what it's like without me
 
So gravity left..........
 
And everyone followed!!!
 
Muuhaahaa
