Everybody Knows

Everybody knows that the Earth is a circle like a cricket ball in the air,
Everybody knows that a rainbow is made from the rain and sun like two meteors meeting,
Everybody knows that everyone has a secret like a cat running from a dog,
Everybody knows that we are scared of something like a dog hiding from their owner,
Everybody knows that people get excited about something like a dog running to their owner,
Everybody knows that dogs bark and cats purr like thunder and lightning fighting the ground,
Everybody knows that we have a future waiting for us like a child waiting for a sweet,
Everybody knows that children get annoyed by their parents like a parent getting annoyed by their children,
Everybody knows that one day we will find a job we love like people finding love in a funny way, Everybody knows that we all have a sport we love like a child loves his or her favourite toy
