h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

BEFORE MEN KNEW,
THAT THE WORLD IS ROUND,
WHEN THEY THOUGHT IT FLAT,
AND SO MUCH HAD TO BE FOUND

SOME THOUGHT IT BEST,
TO HEAD WAY OUT WEST,
TO FIND THE EDGE OF THE GROUND,
WHERE THE SUN GOES DOWN


SOME SAID GO EAST,
TOWARDS SUNRISE,
AND THERE WE WILL FIND,
A BIG SURPRISE

EAST, IS WHERE WE SHOULD GO,
EAST TOWARDS FABLED
EL DORADO


AND SO THEY SET SAIL,
THEIR THEORIES TO TEST,
SOME WENT EAST,
SOME WENT WEST

AND WOT THEY FOUND,
IS THAT THE WORLD IS ROUND,
AND THAT THE SUN IN FACT,
NEVER DOES GO DOWN



AS FOR THE FABLED CITY OF GOLD,
MANY A YARN
WAS SPUN AND TOLD

BUT ELDORADO ITSELF,
WAS NEVER FOUND,
THEY ONLY FOUND,
THAT THE WORLD IS

ROUND
