Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Lord of the Rings

I've stepped out of Earth's atmosphere
  Don't expect me for dinner, my dear

Past Mercury, Venus and Mars
  Out my window shine trillions of stars

Catch a glimpse of me going 'round Saturn 
  Just follow the rings' elliptical pattern

And when I'm beyond the Milky Way
  Please call in sick for me, OK?

M. L. Kiser January 11, 2022 at 4:30 PM I love circling Saturn; did it in a dream once; wonderful. Gershon Wolf January 11, 2022 at 6:29 PM Five Golden Rings!

Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2022 at 1:13 PM I enjoyed this trip around the planets. Gershon Wolf January 11, 2022 at 2:16 PM And just think. You didn't even have to pay a few million and sit in the same room as Jeff Bezos! Such a deal!

Kenneth Cheney January 10, 2022 at 5:22 AM I just blasted off chuckling at the first couplet. Don't expect me for dinner, my dear. The very thing every space traveler shares. Gershon Wolf January 10, 2022 at 6:04 PM I might actually make it for dessert. I'm only 3.1 light-years away now.

Kim Rodrigues January 10, 2022 at 3:45 AM A fun write! I felt I was likewise grabbing stars. Blessings :) Gershon Wolf January 10, 2022 at 6:04 PM Grabbing at stars much better than clutching at Mars. ~ Venus de Milo

Craig Bowden January 10, 2022 at 2:52 AM I had Rocket Man playing in my head as I read this. Yep, best to stay away from Uranus. Nice piece. Gershon Wolf January 10, 2022 at 6:00 PM As I always tell people, Craig: Uranus is of no interest to me. lol. Thanks, gw

Anselmo Boles January 9, 2022 at 11:17 PM Gershon, snap out of your reverie, dinner's getting cold and your cat's astray! Lol. A space odyssey!!...ab Gershon Wolf January 10, 2022 at 6:00 PM Huh? What? Oh, yeah. I'll be a few light-years late for the main course, I'm afraid.

P.S. Awtry January 9, 2022 at 9:28 PM I wonder if one day it would be possible. 'Cause, wow, imagine the view. You've got me starry eyed :) ~ps

Valsa George January 9, 2022 at 8:46 PM Even if you are weightlessly circling in stratosphere, you will come down when you are hungry and see with your third eye that your table is set ready with a fantastic spread ! Enjoyed ! Gershon Wolf January 10, 2022 at 5:56 PM I don't know, Valsa. They have some great felafel stands out here in Space. lol.

Quoth Theraven January 9, 2022 at 8:25 PM Gershon, Universe's best hat trick in this one. -Richard
