191 - Sun

The sun shines bright

Except where it doesn't

This must be obvious

I don't mean to be a pedant

The sun doesn't rise

It's the Earth that turns

But knowing this is probably

The least of your concerns

The sun is just a star

One of many trillions

It's really nothing special

Unless you are reptilian

The Sun is also a "newspaper"

But it's not very good

It's full of lies and gossip

I trust that's understood

I hope you have enjoyed

These facts about the sun

Come back for more information

I promise I'll make it fun
