Premiere Contest WinnerSkating Upon Saturn's Rings

Saturn's rings mystify me indeed!
All seem bound with no purpose or need.
Spinning boulders and ice-
pictures of them add spice.
In the end, where will good answers lead?

But last night I woke up from strange dreams;
found I landed by way of moonbeams!
To my greatest surprise
right in front of my eyes-
Large space monsters fast led to my screams!

The group traveled on magical skates
fixed beneath monster dumpsters with grates-
which then opened to spread
the trapped boulders instead
of their roaming around with bad fates.

They sprawled tons of old space-filled debris,
and I gathered from what I could see,
kept those rings plumped up well;
captured for a long spell
eased collisions in our Galaxy!

Now, I know that these facts aren't true
cause that's not how those circles accrue!
Magnetism makes rings,
space debris spins, and clings!
So, this theme earned my fun poet's view!

Sandra, what a wonderful set of Limericks you’ve written to claim the top place. You’ve always been one of my favorite poets. ;-)
