Total Eclipse Of The Sun – August 21st 2017

Though the starry eyed corona sporting sun dance

cosmic phenomena (stealthily slated to describe mid expanse
night during broad daylight), this astronomical event common at a glance.

Said Hal lens neigh saying Trojan Horse advancing into Troy i.e. a stealth raid

occurs once every eighteen months, harmful metaphorical nightshade
reflexive inducing furrowed curiosity, hence advisory strongly issued lest lens frayed
causing permanent vision damage (previews to don special eyewear appear on news) assayed

within print media as well fort tis serious risk quickening purblind business to peer

directly, what scientists term syzygy (when the moon moves in front of el sol) here
rolled ding decreasing (analogous to a dimmer switch) turning day into night, yet glare
ring into the superimposed discs of lunar body across the goddess viz Apollo will dare

any lookers to fixate upon the gilt riddled umbra will need (for safety sake) clear

lee approved ocular spectacles to avoid optic damage to impair sight – so beware

and heed that purported ole wives tale –
NEVER SET EYES IN DIRECT ECLIPSED VIEW, cuz conical rays of pure light will impale

vision, whence one will need to learn Braille.

Yet, twas not specifically my singular aim

to prattle as per a rare happening in the sky – but to claim

competing adventure that didst thyself and missus when driving and name

lee got pulled over by a Lower Providence police officer – quite pleasant without shame

gave out a warning ticket in regard to the malfunction rear passenger tail light

which repair will be tended when Hyundai Sonata scheduled for inspection a fortnight
or there since our encounter with flashing red and blue beacon, which did excite

my anxiety (kept under wraps via taking prescription medication), and I nearly did bite

off my tongue (while awaiting verdict – like a deer froze in high beams),

which intent to take a short car ride to purchase Powerball tickets

teetered on the brink to become a major psychic plight!

Thus praise bequeathed to the spectacular stellar band swaddling Gaia a sight
for sore eyes (courtesy of celestial vault) to attire a sliver of Earth – akin to a moth to light

drawing the gaze of ordinary folks, who might best be mindful of their speed and flight

of fancy, which universal unique linkedin show mind the accelerator

to those valiant sergeants hiding in the wake, and blinding one with their deserved badge!
