***
I sang to the stars
About the universe and they just
Laughed at me:
“You know nothing of what we see”.
Though ignorance is bliss, curiosity
Killed the cat
Letting me
Bend space - time geometry.
I travelled around the billion seas,
Planets, made out of cheese.
I saw war, I saw peace,
Civilisations climbing back into trees.
Worn out my blue suede shoes
And went back home.
I sang to the stars
About the universe and they just
Laughed at me.
Didn’t matter.
I’m made out of stardust, you see.
***
Awoken have I on this wonderful morning,
Christmas arrived with a white chilly warning.
I opened a box from under a tree,
Happy to see, a fish rotten only to a certain degree.
***
Winter came and froze the land -
Nothing unusual, everything’s planned.
A silver thaw covered the lines,
That was the end of their power supplies.
“Nobody panic, everything’s cool,
The laptops are charged
And they won’t overheat soon.”
Squeaks of the mice painted everything bleak,
Clacks of the keyboards put them back to sleep.
Frightened they were to go get a snack,
What if their screens hypothetically turn black?
***
They vacuumed the dust,
Dissolved the rust,
Dry cleaned the carpet -
Did it all with a lust.
Now the only thing left
For you to recollect
Was the smile of a scribbler
Who wrote a tag - reprocessed.
