One Young Man's Trip From the Stars

By Mad Jack

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Quark Schrz felt low He'd bruised his toe On a rock way up on Mars He stooped to look The pain he'd took On this trip up to the stars He left his home An old gray dome Of his trip he'd tell by pen Think what you've had Don't leave, said Dad Up there are little green men Still off he went By youth was sent To satisfy wanderlust Quark didn't whine Just fixed his sign It simply read, "EARTH or BUST" Written March 14th, 2002 © on Mar 14 2002 07:21 AM PST   10 • 0
