The Edge of the World

The Edge of the World
Columbus said the world is round?
Don't you believe a word of that.
For I've been down to the edge of the world,

Peeked over the ledge where the blue smoke curls,
And I can tell you, boys and girls,
The world is FLAT!
- Where the Sidewalk Ends, Shel Silverstein
