- >Man on the pictie-boxie said that zoomy-rockets go spinny-spinny-spinny
- >Round and round and round the world, and that's how they stay in the sky!
- >If YOU go fast and go round and round and round and round
- >Maybe you will go in the sky too!
- >You've tried this before, and something always goes wrong.
- >You've forgotten what, though.
- >Now you feel spinny!
- >Maybe the spinnies are taking you in the sky!
- >Faster! FASTER!
- >Your feet leave the ground!
- >You did it!
- >"AWBIT FWYYYIN!"
- >Wait.
- >You're not in the sky.
- >You're still in your pen.
- >Your room's just upsy-downsies.
- >You still feel spinny
- >Only now it's not fun.
- >You want the floor back, please.
- >"Fwoow?"
- >You wave your leggies.
- >"Why fwoow-fwend go way? Pweeze come back, fwoow!"
- >The floor ignores your entreaties.
- >Only one power in the universe can save you now.

- >She's been doing this since she could walk.
- >You must have picked her up and sorted her out hundreds
- >No
- >Thousands of times.
- >She never learns.
- >Her breeder called her Bubbles.
- >But after the fifth time you found her on her back
- >Legs waving at the ceiling
- >Too dizzy to stagger
- >All because she'd basically tried to run into space again
- >You started calling her Orbit.
- >She does this every other day.
- >She's been doing this since she could walk.
- >Thousands of times.
- >She never learns.
- >It never stops being funny.
- >You wouldn't change her for the world.
