With his eloquent speech.
His charisma could not be resisted.
It was he who would teach.

He took the freaks idea
And made it his own.
No man would be right
Except he alone.

He devised his own story
Using the freaks word.
He would take the glory
And make the freak seem absurd.

He is not entirely correct.
The great man thus began.
I mean no disrespect
But I am, of course, a great man!

He was on the right track.
This I wont deny.
What truth may he lack,
I will attempt to supply.

He does not know, it seems,
That our grateful relation
To the Suns warm beams
Lies in the Earths rotation.

If you but wait,
This problem I will solve.
Upon its axis straight,
Does the Earth revolve.

As our great God
Is wont to create,
Upon this imaginary rod
Does the Earth rotate.

The sun remains still
While the Earth moves and spins
Where the suns warmth may fill
A new day on Earth begins.

Just as the moon is the reason
For waves in the ocean
The change of the season
Is the Earth in Her motion.

It is basic science.
The sun could never hide.
Our Earth is in complete reliance
Of the Sun on every side.

The girls were amazed
At this great display of speech.
Into the great mans eyes they gazed
As he proceeded to teach.

The freak was appalled
Watching innocence beguiled.
The girls were enthralled
While the great man smiled.

Who was being deceived?
The freak felt some dismay.
The great man the girls believed.
And the freak just walked away.

It seemed childish to contest.
He saw no reason to fight.
He thought best not to protest.
Both of their answers were right.

Over time the great man grew
To earn a great mans reputation.
His words would cause much ado
And even some speculation.

A few weeks quickly went by
During which time came a threat.
No rain had fallen from the sky,
But the ground seemed to be wet.

Water trickled like blood from a gash.
Soon the streets turned to mud.
People could not walk without a splash.
There was fear that the town would flood.

Slowly, this problem would develop.
The water would continue to run.
Eventually, the whole town it would envelop
