Curly and Moe

A tortoise-shell cat and a calico, Walked to the riverfront way below. One named Curly. The other named Moe. Spaceship nabbed them with a curious glow. Curly taught the aliens how to sew. They went to a planet alive with snow. Given a gorgeously furnished chateau, And pastries made of the finest dough…. Did not worry about the world below. Never had any more grass to mow. Rode horse-like creatures, taught aliens “whoa!” Life on this planet was a lively good show! Both of these Earthlings truly did know, This planet’s pulse had a marvelous flow. Lightyear’s away, not a stone’s throw…. Never again saw Earth’s gentle doe. Moe renamed himself Space Alien Joe. Curly dreamed of seeing an Earth flower grow. Biggest disappointment truly bad blow. Never again read a word of Edgar Allan Poe.
