Galactic steel spaceship crashes
The event anticlimactic
A one-eyed alien dashes
Winding against wind apractic
From another galaxy pair
Heard that upon earth herds eat pears
In atactic state couldn't climb stairs
Swiftly did pray but was prey unwares
Behind a flower did lie man
The practic approach, his tactic
This alien to steal, game plan
Soon approach this galactic
Fair were his few thoughts uncontrolled
Though alien thoughts were lactic
Since he hit the liquor steel, rolled
Moonshine did steal for extragalactic
On my Galaxy small, small screen
Right there did view their scary scenes
Do pray that these two do not glean
Offsprings to have mixed matched genes
Out of this world

Curiouser and curiouser thinks Alice.
Why must I always follow that rabbit?
Last time it didn’t work out well,
I must try to break the habit.
This time they’re on a spaceship
And she’s suddenly floating around.
Ever since they blasted off,
Her feet haven’t touched the ground.
But at least her height remains constant.
No more shrinking then growing.
But where Lewis Caroll is taking her,
There is no way of knowing.
The man in charge is Captain Kirk,
Who seems to be quite potty.
With a top hat with a label on
And a dog he refers to as ‘Scottie’.
They land on a distant planet,
You won’t have heard about,
Discovered by one Charles Dodgson,
With a silly name no doubt.
She steps out from the spaceship,
Wondering what she’ll find.
“That’s one small step for a girl,” she says,
“One giant leap for girlkind.”
She’s met by peculiar characters,
With even sillier names,
Who threaten to chop her head off,
If she doesn’t join in their games.
Then suddenly Alice wakes up.
It’s all been a dream if you please.
And she vows that tomorrow’s supper
Will not be bread and cheese.
Submission, sound thy service.
O slave, soar as ye fall.
Sacred vision, sacrifice.
Keel o'er, one and all.
Thunder on the mountain steep?
Storm, thy purple cloud.
O ye shepherds, guard thy sheep!
Burial, thy shroud.
Raw the wounded inside?
The pain is very fresh.
Poisonous snake, how you hide!
Chain mail, be my mesh.
Yellow queen in city old?
Warrior, be thou bold...
Cavern grotto, art thou cold?
Light issues from mold.
Gold on river bottom?
It's been there for some time.
Wargod evil, beat thy drum!
Hurricane, blow chime!
Deep the dragon's den and dark.
Dole and doom, thy health.
Spaceship massive, where to park?
Treasure, seek thy wealth.
Rake leaves for a bonfire?
It will burn hot and fast.
Will within me, on the pyre?
Never meant to last.
Roundabout the river runs?
Thousand-fold and taut.
Sevens, elevens, and ones?
Golem, what you got.
Dripping down the chasm?
Alert not anything.
Black abyss, thy spasm!
O fairies, dance in ring...
New Worlds
Carry me please spaceship
Far from this wretched Earth
Let me face new hardship
Let me prove my worth
Leave behind the stun gun
The petty wars and strife
A new flag up my pole to run
Give me explorers life
Guide me to a distant star
Where I can build a home
I will travel wide and far
The universe I’ll roam
I’ll wander with the alien
Who cares colour or shape
The humanoid reptilian
Or super-human ape
Let me leave this planet
As I left my mothers knee
Shoot me like a comet
Across the galaxy
Looking back past the moon
Where I live in my bliss
Knowing Earth, faces doom
And blow it one last kiss.
they suit up in hazmat suits
the door bursts open.
They pop me into a bubble and
whisk me to the sixteenth floor
I did not know this hospital had a sixteenth floor, I say
For three days people come to poke and prod me.
They take blood and wake me up at midnight
To say “I am your nurse”.
The sign on my door says not to enter without
full protection – a suit, goggles, footies, etcetera.
No one tells me what I have.
No one seems to know.
Whatever it is, it has left in three days.
They blindfold me and take me back to my car.
I think it is weird I am released at midnight
until I watch them load onto a spaceship and take off.
Swept away in a spaceship
with a Captain Dylan Hunt, by name.
He looks just like Kevin Sorbo
of television's "Hercules" fame.
I'm not sure which is more shocking,
this galaxy quest or the hunk.
Hope this ship can make the journey.
It rattles like a piece of junk.
Stopping off at some distant planet
for repairs on this bucket of bolts.
We leave the ship for shore leave.
What we see gives us both jolts.
In the evening sky overhead
are three moons in the dark green sky
with rainbow coloured rings 'round one.
It's true ! I wouldn't lie.
As the sage coloured sky darkens
to a deep, deep hunter green
the smallest moon changes colours.
Strangest thing I've ever seen.
The middle moon, with rainbow rings,
is the largest of the three.
The hunky captain and I take a seat
and talk about what we see.
The third moon in the sky above
seems to be quite close by,
It is a gorgeous shade of peach,
the prettiest in the sky.
Apparently, the ship is fixed
and now its time to go.
I so enjoyed the sunset here.
The moons put on quite a show.
Off to the next galaxy,
the hunky captain and I,
looking forward to many more sunsets
on many more planets in the sky.
p.s. I'm NOT going home.

A tortoise-shell cat and a calico,
Walked to the riverfront way below.
One named Curly. The other named Moe.
Spaceship nabbed them with a curious glow.
Curly taught the aliens how to sew.
They went to a planet alive with snow.
Given a gorgeously furnished chateau,
And pastries made of the finest dough….
Did not worry about the world below.
Never had any more grass to mow.
Rode horse-like creatures, taught aliens “whoa!”
Life on this planet was a lively good show!
Both of these Earthlings truly did know,
This planet’s pulse had a marvelous flow.
Lightyear’s away, not a stone’s throw….
Never again saw Earth’s gentle doe.
Moe renamed himself Space Alien Joe.
Curly dreamed of seeing an Earth flower grow.
Biggest disappointment truly bad blow.
Never again read a word of Edgar Allan Poe.
All is still into the night
The sky is dark
No moon tonight
The stars so bright
When I noticed something glowing
In the skylight
I remember thinking that's not right
Just then it zipped out of sight
In some very unique flight
Reappearing so bright
Oh what is this light
That glows into the night
Whatever it's I can see it much clearer
As it appears to be coming near
Should I fear
This glowing atmosphere
I can feel my temperature rise
As the fear fills my eyes
I'm not sure what is floating in the sky
Nobody is going to believe
Who came to visit me from up so high
I just hope they pass me by
I know they are not of God
So I won't be asking why
Standing strong
Hoping they will just move along
I won’t let it bother me
So just let me be
Standing here free them observing thee
Looks like they are ready to flee
Then in a flash
It made a crazy dash
They do it with such a bright splash
How are they able to move
In such a powerful groove
When the glow disappeared
As quick as it had appeared
I will not fear
All their high tech gear
I can't help but fight these feelings
That is just not right
Who is in this glowing orb light
That shines so bright
On a no moon night
Glowing in the skylight
Oh what a fright
This ufo that came to me
In plain sight
Nobody is going to believe
What happened to me tonight
When I came face to face
With this ship from outer space
That left without a trace
Of ever coming to this place
Oh what a disgrace
How our government has lied
Right to our face
About an intelligent race
From outer space
Our trust misplaced
With so much distaste
They care not what they waste
In all of their greedy haste
It would appear
They would rather have us live in fear
Most of them making a career
As they slowly
Make all of the facts disappear
The Visitor from Outerspace came down from the Cosmos.
He'd been traveling in a glittery saucer.
Decided to drop in on Earth to take a look.
Wondered if he could learn something new
Or give some help to humanity.
He represented a highly technological community!
His fellow space-beings had good tips for humankind.
On technology and all sorts of life-saving medicines.
So he secretly visited humans in a simple pair of jeans and a tshirt.
Just tryin' to look like a regular guy,
One of those Earthings who aims to fly high.
Everything went well, and people liked him.
But someone noticed his spaceship.
It looked like a UFO, so people were fearful.
They plotted to study the creatures within.
People saw opportunities to make money,
Producing expensive pharmaceuticals,
Taking the Spaceman's land, colonizing it
Putting him on exhibition.
But this Spaceman or Visitor from the Cosmos, whatever he was
Had only wanted to help Earthlings.
He wanted to teach them something new.
About technology and helping one another.
Living in planetary peace and saving the galaxy.
Too bad Earthlings focused on making money.
This Cosmic Being realized war was widespread.
He realized that Earthlings might not be so friendly.
They'd probably want to colonize his planet.
After hearing the news on TV, he realized he had to leave.
Before humansput him under the microscope.
Thus, he made a run for it.
Taking off as fast as he could!
His UFO shined brightly.
The door opening.
And the Extraterrestrial
Beamed up onto the spaceship.
Then he flew far, far away into the vast Cosmos!
I still wonder if extraterrestrials are out there
And if they would like to collaborate with Earthlings.
Exploring the celestial
there is my child, acknowledged as special
reckoning the stars with eloquence
freely propelled, bereft of spastic persistence
maneuvering his wheel chair-turned spaceship
defying gravity of disability along miraculous workmanship
verily mirth-filled
exuberantly thrilled!!!
Now, unbound from angst of bumps’ torture
anticipated by mother's heart upon mind's posture
h e r e am I wondrously ecstatic
basking under pleasure of dreamy merriment, so therapeutic
delighted at this worthwhile surreal moment
indeed transcending magical engagement---
to wake up verily thankful to the God of miracles
Who specializes in impossibilities*!!!
*Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
