Meteorite meteorite you art a rock
And when you land you cause a shock
Go away Go away we don't want your sort
Stealing our livelihoods, it's all your fault

Here's an interesting bit of information:

comet = thing in space made of mainly ice

asteroid = any rocky thing floating or gallivanting around in space
meteor = any rocky thing that has breached earth's atmosphere and is still in flight
meteorite = any meteor that has landed.


Do I have this right? smiley - erm I think so but...
