CELESTIAL SCANDAL, by ELVA R. RAY
First Line: Whoever hangs the stars at night
Last Line: In cassiopeia's chair.
Subject(s): Stars
First Line: Whoever hangs the stars at night
Last Line: In cassiopeia's chair.
Subject(s): Stars
Whoever hangs the stars at night
And takes them in by day
Must need a million filing clerks
To get them put away.
Sometimes a clerk must lose his job
And know the reason why,
If a star has not been properly
Fastened to the sky;
For what a scandal there would be
If one of them should dare
To place Orion's belt and sword
In Cassiopeia's chair.
