Lily Multiplied
I had been time travelling for about a thousand years
a step away from the milky way now
(engines overheating) you know
my dachshund Lily,floated by and licked my nose
and did that ear-thing where they curiously flip and
flop the way they do in ice cream commercials
Lily Carmichael #137 neutron product Earth.
Her breeder had assured me her breed was genuine
and she would be a good little dog
but Lily had reproduced herself by jumping
into the halidron multiplier
so now you see, there were seven hundred Lily clones
floating merrily and bumping into everything
fortunately the ship was vast (and could be seen from
The Great Wall of China):
the biggest issue was feeding and following them with a poop bag
as we sped from galaxy to galaxy
this remained a problem until I manafactured enough grub bots
and poop bots to attend to all the Lilies various functions
so... my"Lilies" look cute in their little space suits
and ice cream ears, floating around the master control cabin
near the edge of the known universe
if anyone one needs a good little travel companion
I have six hundred and ninety nine waiting "for a good home"
