Halley's Comet was to be my once in a lifetime cosmic event.
Was told to expect it from grades 1-12k.
1986 came and it was a bust.
They told us it must have melted along the way.
The Halley’s Comet I saw wasn’t a bust. It was the 4th brightest comet I’ve seen (and I have seen a number).
The brightest were: West, Hyakutake, Hale Bopp, and then Halley (not necessarily in that order).
