Funny was it how the night before

The world was turning with the light of the sun

At night there was light too, no stories of lore

Then the sun disappeared and darkness begun

On that fateful day

It was not quite the same

No one was used to the dark

And people would look out their window pane

To see shadows of bats and meadowlark

They were not afraid in any way

Then click! In went the stars

The world shone on the birds and the cars

Until the sky full of stars seemed dead in cold

Without light a place once so magical now hurt to behold
