In An Obscure Galaxy

The aristocratic Martian delicately kissed her hand
  She blushed, as only an alabaster Venetian can
He ushered into his supersonic cab
  Endearing himself with a superlative gift of gab

Away the two flew to an obscure galaxy
  They dined on poached protoplasm and astral puree
But when it was time to pick up the tab
  The aristocrat -- no gentleman he -- said shockingly
     ~ 'You pay for it all: I'm a woman's libber, tee-hee'
