The Telescope

Galileo Galilei was the first
To use the telescope without a burst.
He knew if he used it, he’d win the pride,
And when he did, he only sighed.

When it’s used to look at stars,
You may see the planet Mars.
It would be so tragic to not know
The other planets, they’re such a glow.

It makes things bigger, so you can see
How cool outer space can really be!
When I was made, I was put aside
So depressed I could have cried.

You would not know the moon is here,
There would not be any fear,
Without my talent I could not say,
What the world would be today?
