Light Verse

A man stepped onto a star,

Asked, “Can I have a blink?”

“You’ve had too much to think,”

Said the star, “Go to Mars.”

But the planet, dull and red

Had burnt out, gone to bed.

“All I want is a wink of light,”

Said the man to the sun,

Who replied, “Oh, thou person,

I don’t think you’re very bright.”


[Don’t look to me for a moral —

My insight’s fading, auroral.]
