The Brave Astronaut

I am a courageous astronaut
I wonder what lies in the unknown
I hear the whoosh of large asteroids flying past me
I see our beautiful, shining planet
I want to experience great wonders
I am a brave explorer

I pretend I have made friends with aliens
I feel happy that I achieved my dream of space exploration
I touch the samples of distant planets that I brought back
I worry that they will be ruined
I cry with joy at the prospect of going to unexplored parts
I am excited about my adventures

I understand I am tiny compared to the universe
I tell myself, you will soon set foot on land
I dream of being well known
I desire to see everything till the edge of the galaxy
I hope I will return to Earth soon
I am a courageous astronaut

O Fishing

O fishing, I do adore-
You’re always on my mind.

When we go camping
I make sure I bring my rod and tackle.

O fishing, when I should be sleeping-
I stay up just to get one more thrill.

O fishing, every day I am praying to go fishing.
You are the fish in my eye.

O fishing, the sweet sound of your drag screaming….fishing
The splish, splash of your tail helps me go to bed at night.

O fishing, the sweet smell of the bait I love so much
O fishing, the blood, sweat, and tears I put into you.

O fishing, I think you talk to me in my dreams.
O fishing.

Ode to Whoppers

Oh, thy glorious whopper,
I am your desired shopper.

How you taste in my mouth is indescribable.
If you weren’t in my life, that would be horrible.
How you dance on my tongue makes my taste buds go crazy,
Eating you makes me want to be lazy.

Your loud crunch makes me shiver,
Sharing your delight makes you the giver.
When I place you in my mouth,
You sizzle and dissolve.
The taste of your sweetness will evolve.
When the taste is gone my feelings go south,
There is nothing but sadness in my mouth.
Oh, thy glorious whopper,
I cannot live without.
