Shooting Star Outgunned
SHOOTING STAR OUTGUNNED
A single rocky space ship,
A sizzling visitor,
Flashed in our pan,
Dashed in and ran.
A fleeting meteor,
Meeting our fleet of clouds,
Marked the blackness with one
Streak - bright, brief, and gone.
Evaporating fast
Its last trace was past.
................................................................
Note.
Meteors collide with the Earth constantly, and thankfully are
destroyed by our own atmosphere.
