Description
A RUMOR ABOUT SHOOTING STARS
My father said that shooting stars
were new souls come down to earth.
I believed him until Mrs. Sweeny
my 5th grade teacher said, "Dan, what are meteorites."
I replied, "they are new souls come down to earth."
Mrs. Sweeny corrected me
with a nickel and iron rebuttal
that took my father's light away from me.
Never again did I hear
anyone even suggest
that shooting stars were
souls come down to earth.
So, here's your part in this.
The next time
you hear someone talking about meteorites,
please add
the rumor about the souls.
