The Tetrasienka Herder To His Love

In my vessel below Europa seas
Pardoning my telepathy-
You see, I am too far below
to reach out to you in our minds
As lovers do.
I envision our green skin
sticking together,
communicating from within.
I am but a mere herder
of these wretched undersea creatures
These Tetrasienka, giant peaceful beasts-
Which I would happily give you
In a quiet reunion, then a fanciful feast.
When my tour is finished- in 10,000 light years,
Perhaps we shall walk on Jupiter, 
holding webs, staring at a place called Earth.
My Love, when done herding these Tetrasienka,
from the deep I will come to you...
In my vessel from below the Europa seas
Perhaps we may try a thing called birth-
but only if you please.



* Europa is a moon of Jupiter, with known oceans and
hot wells deep in the ocean, life is expected to thrive there.
 And the "Tetrasienka" is my version of a
whale-like creature living there.

9th place in the "Parody" contest by Dr. Ram Mehta
