Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 How about doing it this way. WHAT IS A YEAR! But what is a year? A turn, a spin The Earth merry-go-round. A fast sliding one, Never revolving on the same spot twice. The solar system has its Own merry-go- round That goes around the Galaxy. That galactic year lasts 200 million years, Give or take a few. Last time that new year was celebrated, Dinosaurs drank Champaign And partied hearty. And yes, it's best If you celebrate it today, It's not likely Humans will be around 200 million years from now. And, oh!, This year will have an extra second. So don't let it go to waste, Use it well. Happy new 200 million years!
