After a previous eclipse of the sun I wrote the following extra verse for Joseph Addison's well-known hymn about the sun, moon, stars and planets.
However, like a human watch
The heav'nly clock displays a botch.
Sometimes the moon gets in the way,
The sun no longer shines by day.
Does this proclaim a faulty God?
That really would be very odd.
Rather give thanks. The obscure sun
Shows the Creator's sense of fun.
