POEM: No Place Like Space
This was written to the featured image on this week’s CPC Simple Sunday Picture challenge.
It’s by a Deviantart.com artist who calls himself QUaZ, and is titled “Beautiful Saturn.”
NO PLACE LIKE SPACE
Out beyond the edge of dawn
where dogs don’t poop upon your lawn,
the space is clear of fog and air,
although you cannot breathe out there.
The black and blue of outer space
will hit your eyes right in the face.
Don’t venture outside of your ship;
Some quasar could a new one rip.
Though outer space is beautiful,
Its vastness makes you pitiful.
You’re just a speck out in the void,
a target for an asteroid.
Be glad that you live where you do
You could become alien poo.
(or worse, if there is such a thing).
No place to hear the angels sing;
though Saturn does have a nice ring.
