Analysis of Twinkle Twinkle Not So Little Star



Twinkle twinkle little star,
It’s only little 'cause it’s far.
It’s probably bigger than our sun,
If it were closer we’d be done.
Twinkle twinkle little star,
It’s only little ‘cause it’s far.

About this poem

Just another funny version of a song I wrote for my kids last night. A little science and comedy.
