On Top of the World

Earth spins around on its axis

That dips a bit toward the sun.

In Sweden the north pole’s tilted

At midsummer time. What fun!

I wish I could be in Sweden

When the midnight sun shines bright,

It stays in the sky hour by hour,

And there isn’t any dark night.

But when the earth’s axis tilts

In winter the other way,

All the nights then are six months long.

What do they do without day?
