The world is flat

The world is flat, everyone knows this because when we walk its flat.  Here on earth there is no roundness to it.  If the world was round when we walked on it every corner would be round and we would fall.  On maps you see, the world is flat.  It's all straight lines, straight roads.  There is no proof that the world is round, therfore it is flat because of my reasons above.

poem analysis

I feel like he just had a hard transition from childhood to adulthood and he doesnt really know how to deal with it.  He obviously wishes he could go back in time to his childhood.  He captures childhood by giving such good details about when he was younger and from age to age.  I do agree with him that life was more fun and easier when we were younger but there's a point in everybodys life when we have to grow up and become "big kids."
