Gravity
One day, Isaac Newton sat Not only apples, but all of us
And saw an apple fall. Stay still though Earth spins round.
Then he thought, “It’s not just fruit! Of course, we know that this is true!
Something pulls us all.” Earth goes round but we stay still.
“There is a force,” he said to himself, What goes up must come down,
“That pulls things to the ground, And it always will.”
