Poem Artwork

 

 

My old saucer a wreck,

To my home planet I have to trek,

Recommended this by my saucer tech,

Yes, that’s right, the one with no neck…

 

Now I got all the options,

Star drive in six variations,

As well it can submerge,

Happy that will make someone,

She almost has the power of the sun…

 

Not much did they give me on trade,

My old unit just that of a lowly grade,

To this planet it got me to invade,

But I found I liked it here, so on I stayed,

To get home in the old one would have taken lots of duct tape,

As well I would have had to make sure everyone I know prayed…

Uh, oh, you've done it again, brother. Dear old Mom's been very worried about you, and she's been going door to door collecting rolls of duct tape for you - and now, you don't even need it. You better call her and explain this one, yourself.

You're a bit spaced out in this one, Ed. Have a safe trip back to the South Jersey Shore. Me and the gulls are waiting to greet you.

Sounds like you got the cream of the crop this time but I guess with all that bail out money the car companys have turned to space craft manufacture...

LOL! Funny, Ed, so that's why you're a little odd. An alien! Never woulda thunk it. :) Well done. Like your ship - how 'bout takin' me for a spin?

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
