Crimson’s Creative Challenge #151

Me and my friend decided we

would have a go at astronomy

so we went to the forest clearing

just as the stars were appearing

so we set our astrolabe up

on a stump that was newly cut,

we pointed it at the East horizon

where the moon was newly rising

but to line it up was hard for me

the damn thing was on a slant you see

after an hour trying to set it up

we gave it up and went to the pub.
