hitchhiking to mars

We’ll hitchhike to mars on a rocket not a car, so say your au revoirs. We’ll steer towards Polaris, the north star right through the center of the milky-way-bar. See, the universe is dark and chocolatey. Stars that glitter like multi-faceted gems, are just shiny, yellow, peanut M&Ms, take a handful, if you’d like, they’re free. We’ll dodge the silhouetted moon, which is made of enough coconut macaroon, to make a French confectioner swoon. As we go streaking, like a comet’s tail, drag a finger through Saturn’s rings as well, those are made of marshmallow. We’ll pass nebulae made of cotton-kandi, and here’s a fact Einstein would have found handy, the speed of light doesn’t apply to candy. . . Ramble on by Toni Jevicky
