Analysis of Bright Noonday To Dark Midnight
In the history of the world--in my lifetime,
I share with my brother, a true "Guinness" time:
On June 20, 1955--a first grader, I was then;
I brought him lunch in the field he was plowing,
When an eclipse--the longest measured ever, timed
Duration of 7 minutes and 8 seconds--happened;
That for him to be able to eat, he had to build--
In a jiffy, a small bonfire in the open field...
As the once bright noonday, turned to dark midnight.
