Snowflakes fall like little dots,
    But my big brothers claim
Each snowflake has six points,
    And no two are the same.

The moon looks big and stars look small,
    But my big brothers say
The moon is smaller than the stars,
    Which shine from farther ' way.

I've watched the sun move 'crost the sky
    And wondered how it's done,
But guess who says the sun stands still,
    And we move ' round the sun!

So either everything I see
    Really isn't so,
Or else my silly brothers don't
    Know what they think they know!
