The Leaning Towert of Pisa, as anyone can see,
Was built by Julius Caesar in 99BC.
It leans at such an angle that the ceiling is the floor,
You go in through the window and you look out from the door.

Galileo Galilei looked down from it at the stars,
He saw the rings of Venus and the great red spot on Mars.
"Eppur si muove!"* he ran and told the Pope
Who called the Inquisition in to burn his telescope.

If you want to go and see it, it stands just there in Rome,
Between the Colloseum and Brunelleschi's Dome,
It's right there by Genoa on the Adriatic Sea,
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the only one for me!

*Eppur si muove: They'll make a movie of this
