Facts are something not everybody can see,
They're always there, just waiting for me,
Facts are like a mirror, they never, ever lie,
Not even when spiders are falling from the sky,
I'll show you what I do, when something strange occurs,
I calmly gather the facts, while everybody else's vision blurs.
That day, the winds were very strong,
Then I thought, hard and long,
When I share my answer to those around me,
They don't get it, why don't they see?
The facts are there, plain as can be!
