Shiny Stars
Like shiny stars rested on an even plain,
The rubber planet will soon crash.
So the young can develop their brain,
They save the 'stars' and they laugh.

Riddle me this?
Mates unbalanced,
Or so they seem;
But paired in tandem,
A deadly team.
She so gently round,
Him so firm and straight,
Yet when they are compounded,
Woe to them they hate.
