Another Saturn Sunrise:

The C.I.A. and K.G.B. with the F.B.I and N.C.A
Could not find what I lost today.
I even tried NASA who were quick to reply,
"We are sorry Sir, but we have searched all through space,
Every Solar system and galaxy but could not find a trace."
 
"Who said you ever had it?"
"Or that it was ever at your place?"

Well thanks all the same,
Give my regards to all the planets,
Even the ones you haven't made.
While I took a glimpse at sanity,
Before it was misplaced,
It looked very overrated, 
Plus there's more than enough in the human race,
Maybe I'll take another look back out in space.

A cool, spacey poem, WW. It's out in the stars somewhere. The search continues ... Sanity overrated? Maybe vanity. I'll take your word on that one. Love the poem, friend. May love light your path to peace always.
