Epochal Antics

In an epoch and era far removed from ours,
  Dwelt two golden gophers on the planet Mars.

Asked one of the other, while hugging his interplanetary car,
  Saw you not that adorable smooching star?

Returned the second, scarce nanoseconds later,
  Emptied you the mandarins and mayonnaise from yonder refrigerator?

Pondered the first, his coiled intestines wildly blinking,
  Might you, the second, a new green navel be seeking?

All in all, a night out on the town spun saucily well,
  Jousting at cosmic parlance in a galactic epoch nonpareil.

Thank you, my friend. (As Red Skelton, the comedian, used to say: "I just do 'em; I don't explain 'em.") Best of everything, Gershon
