Galileo Galilei bought a telescope
in an instant what was distant appeared so close
he added to the gadget another lens
for magnifying objects and making friends

Galileo found that Jupiter had 4 moons
to supporters of Copernicus what good news!
he chose to disagree with the Catholic Church
well there may be a center but it's not Earth

Galileo Galilei bought a telescope
for geocentric theory there was no hope
the year was sixteen hundred and thirty three
they locked him in his house and they lost the key
home
