The Astronomer’s Chair
.
By Clarence G. Underwood
.
The Astronomer’s chair sits empty
The stars are floating by. No one
Is looking through the eyepiece,
I wonder why? Perhaps because
It is New Year’s Eve and the
Astronomer has gone to celebrate.
After the stroke of midnight
Again the Astronomer will take
His place. There is so much to
See now, the winter stars do
Show. Taurus, Orion and the
Pleiades, they are on display you
Know! Nebula and clusters there
Is so much to see. As I start the
New Year, another year older I
Will be!
