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' December 26, 2020 Fantasy with fictional beings Poetry Contest Sponsor: Caren Krutsinger Word Count: 73 words
