Celestial Bodies

October 10, 2020

The earth said to the sun
"I think we should see other celestial bodies."
The sun glared back.
Oh, what a look that could kill!
Silence...
Earth spoke first, nervously—
“It’s not you, it’s me!”
Silence...
Until, finally, Earth,
realizing the Gravity of the situation,
accepted the situation
and said, "Perhaps... ...with some counseling
we can get back to orbital marital bliss."
