The Oldest recognized Constellation
By Clarence G. Underwood
Astronomy is a science of old. It has been a topic
Of man for ages untold. We have found signs of
Ancient societies, but sky watches have probably
Been around as long as man could see! Found in
A cave somewhere in France, no doubt after man
Learned to dance. The arts emerged as a communication
Form. A way for ideas to be sent along. Yes, ideas would
Be carried along in time. The way some words are
Transmitted through rhymes. Some 17,000 years ago
Someone painted a Bull and the Pleiades you know!
Yes, Taurus is the oldest constellation we have found.
It seems that the sky was walking there on the ground.
As above so below, it is profound to know that man
Reached the heavens so long ago!
