When Joshua, that warrior bold, said to the sun, “stand still,”
And hypnotized the frisky moon with a forensic trill;
Astronomy was not embraced within his mental girth,
Or he would have addressed his spiel to the revolving earth.
And hypnotized the frisky moon with a forensic trill;
Astronomy was not embraced within his mental girth,
Or he would have addressed his spiel to the revolving earth.
Unsigned poem, titled “Astronomic Josh,” from The Philistine (“A Periodical of Protest,” November 1908)
