Gravity is not a force
It's not a force at all
Gravity's a warp in space
Into which matter will fall
If gravity is not a force
Why does it pull on us?
That is a thing cosmologists
Occasionally discuss
But if it's force or it's a warp
(You can compute both ways)
It is what acts upon a scale
That tells us what a thing weighs
