It was forecast by the astronomers
And across the world it caused a stir
The asteroid would pass close by
And it would be seen in the sky nearby
Some religions took it as a sign
Of the end of the world time
So we waited and scanned the heavens
For the astral traveller as it was driven
The long-awaited day finally was here
As the asteroid became visible so near
But it didn't behave as the scientists expected
For it slowed and went into orbit as a moon unintended
Then the ocean's tides changed with this new moon
With floods and droughts across the world quite soon
When both moons are in the night sky
There is enough light to read a book by.
