Missing Earth

Oh joy! Oh bliss! Oh crêpe suzette!
— Dr. Zachary Smith Lost In Space

MISSING EARTH

exclamatory eeks of terra ferma.
Oh meddlesome bother oh heartbreak!
extreme scripted screams: ah ah ahhhh, almost
a sneeze. a snodular lunicious decrepitabilty,
a blunderous crustacean of ineptabilty.

You had to be a Lost In Space fan to get this. Afraid though I enjoyed the show it's been too many years for me to remember it all. But this was a fun read and made me smile. (Oh Joy! Oh Bliss! Oh Crepe Suzette!) (Gotta remember that one for the next time I get a thrill)lol God Bless, JB

They’ve been showing several series for free. I only watched a few remembered favorites. As an adult watching, I’m loving the big words and humorous quotes of Dr. Smith. The new one has more action but terrible acting and for me not as much fun. My grandsons like the new one, of course. Thanks for reading my zany poem, Judy!

From classic Lost In Space show. Dr. Zachary Smith was an unsavory character that initially wanted to blow up the family Robinson’s spaceship. He got caught in outer space with them and was always plotting to get back to earth (Terra Firma). He was mostly a coward and used pompous words. It was a whimsical show. I loved it as a kid.
