Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Catch a Ride On a Comet

Catch a ride on the tail of a comet
   Breakneck speed: Hold on to your bonnet!

Dodge bits and pieces of space-debris
   Obstacle course on the celestial sea

See the planets as they orbit the sun
   Venus, Mars, Jupiter -- watch Mercury run

View constellations like Antares and Polaris
   Swoop past Alpha Centauri, Andromeda and Sirius

Wouldn't it be marvelous to actually do this?
   To fly 'round the heavens -- ecstasy's bliss
