Poem
3.28 parsec out We’re making an impromptu flight change Windstar is gonna have to make a low-grav burn and turn towards the Big Rocky asteroid belt border It’s a risky nav maneuver for sure, but every space outlaw has faced that situation before We got pesky corporate police on our tail, time to power down, run silent on dual trilitium cells Pai-du Jerah I’m the drawn short-straw captain of this motley crew, they respect me with a razor edge I’ve sacrificed my life a time or two for them, I get the necessary begrudge ... but no flak, when I tell them what we gotta do My number one right hand is a woman I wouldn’t look too hard at her, pal, if you know what’s best for your health Vydrikia, she’s a long purple-haired, gen-eng vixen, with tripwire anger issues She smiles dismissively at me, as she unstraps her NB (nuke blast) pulse gun Says the next time I mess with her, she just might not have it set on stun I know the crew is prickly raw, that they want a little r & r ... but we’ve got an interstellar new gov hush-hush delivery to make And this nasty job, we gotta see it through — if we wanna get paid that five zil Galaxian credit Don’t wanna hear none of that mission impossible talk Our motto is: Evade or pear starjuice cajole Be prepared for any planetary orbital patrol We’re space outlaws When we drop out of hyperspace — whatever you do, vigilante solar citizens ... don’t get in our way! That’s one reward that ain’t worth dying for We wear both hats; sometimes we’re the good guys, sometimes we’re on the other side It depends on what the pay is, depends on what the fight is too Some say we ain’t nothing but paid mercs When swiping the untraceable credit disk, we love giving the mean smirks We can be your best friend, we can be your worst enemy But oft times, we’re in the middle somewhere Space outlaws don’t much care
