Eclipse 2026
Shall we watch the solar flares
Sitting in our camping chairs
Cardboard glasses for the stare
Dressed in barely underwear
Or shall we watch the Facebook clips
And get our kicks from guessing which
Are real or made by microchips
Breaking up the shopping tips
Or shall we wait for it indoors
The universe I can't explore
That perfect spot is such a chore
I will follow it on Radio Four.
