A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To Mars

A funny thing happened on my way to mars While astral travelling among the stars I met some alien beings who were kind to me And asked if I'd be interested in trying some moonbeams. Now I am not one to ever take drugs But they said it would induce cosmic love And the moment that I took it I felt the whole of space spin And saw a black hole into which I'd swim And visit the multiverse at a frightening speed And raced through asteroid belts that led me Among a multitude of quasars Surrounded by a cluster of shooting stars Then as I watched this from what seemed afar A supernova blew me straight to Mars Where I shook my head and looked around at the stars And made a vow then that if I saw any aliens at large Don't be taken in and try their pills Because although it was a thrill Of cosmic spills It left me reeling and feeling somewhat dazed and ill.

O, the astral traveler Isaac Asimov in me just loves this one. A cosmic delight, Faux. Just great! ~ Gershon
