The Lyrics
Orion’s Belt is skewed. . .
An oblique line.
The ancients looked and saw this dude
In the sky, an’
Were they high, man?!
That ain’t a man that
Is lookin’ on down.
I don’t understand that
They saw a man where stars swirl around.
Had they had belts, a slew
Of high-proof wine?
Some wine!
Altitude. . .
What’s there viewed
A line skewed,
But no dude in the clouds
Is there up there
In that galaxy.
Where those guys plowed?
Or druggies?
Orion’s Belt is viewed—
It’s just a line.
An oblique line.
The ancients looked and saw this dude
In the sky, an’
Were they high, man?!
That ain’t a man that
Is lookin’ on down.
I don’t understand that
They saw a man where stars swirl around.
Had they had belts, a slew
Of high-proof wine?
Some wine!
Altitude. . .
What’s there viewed
A line skewed,
But no dude in the clouds
Is there up there
In that galaxy.
Where those guys plowed?
Or druggies?
Orion’s Belt is viewed—
It’s just a line.

I'm under your spell once again! Someone should have a star named after you by now! Constellation of 555 stars shine up in the sky for you!!!
Right ascension 5h, Declination 5 degrees, focus setting on 5, looks great to me!!
This one was swell to view...555!!!
my favorite constellation...and would be even if he was wearing suspenders
Thanks, Christie, Mark, Leo, Alvin.
