Big Dipper
The Big Dipper (US) or Plough (UK) is an asterism (not a constellation) of seven stars, with four defining a "bowl" or "body" and three defining a "handle" or "head", that is recognized as a distinct grouping in many cultures. These stars are the brightest of the formal constellation Ursa Major; six of them are second magnitude stars, while only Megrez (δ) is of third magnitude. The North Star (Polaris), the current northern pole star and the tip of the handle of the Little Dipper, can be located by extending an imaginary line from Merak (β) through Dubhe (α). This makes it useful in celestial navigation.

Origin
The constellation of Ursa Major has been seen as a bear by many distinct civilizations. This may stem from a common oral tradition stretching back for thousands of years. Using statistical and phylogenetic tools, Julien d'Huy reconstructs the following Palaeolithic state of the story: "There is an animal that is a horned herbivore, especially an elk. One human pursues this ungulate. The hunt locates or get to the sky. The animal is alive when it is transformed into a constellation. It forms the Big Dipper".
Faith Healer
Shoving me
so I will heal
While I am
so weak I kneel
Begging she admire me
But she says her
work's not free
So I leave
the drafty tent
This will be
a ten well spent
Grab my hand and
with an effort to
Read between the lines
like you do

Dealing with
the faith healer
and trusting
in the palmreader
Now is the time
we must get down
When the healer's
not around
Let me talk love
to you now
As if I could
show you how!
You're wonderful
but nothing new
The faith healer
can do this too
She arrives and
with a warrant
to close you down
She's been around
and sees through you
