LINES BY AN OLD FOGY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: I'M THANKFUL THAT THE SUN AND MOON
Last Line: WOULD RECOMMEND TO TAKE THEM DOWN / AND LIGHT THE WORLD WITH GAS
I'M thankful that the sun and moon
Are both hung up so high,
That no presumptuous hand can stretch
And pull them from the sky.
If they were not, I have no doubt
But some reforming ass
Would recommend to take them down
And light the world with gas.
