A Spaceman's Tall Tale

I think the spaceman tells tall tales I allowed. Others were excited by his stories; I was not wowed. Today he told me about a planet that he caught. And an interplanetary catfish that was full of red snot. They might be true, a girl said to me; her name is Naïve. She was aptly named by parents who had grieved. Because her sister Common Sense had died at birth. I had no words for her, but I felt some mirth.
