[old] Dinner Outside Earth

Published on June 24, 2008, via Triond. I'll forever miss being this hilarious.  Awesome, hilarious poetry indeed!  If I remember correctly, this was a homework for 1st year high school creative writing class (an elective).  For that homework, we were told to list down words that began with the first letter of the name we are called (mine is S).  Using those words, we were to write a poem, and this poem was made.

On a cold night in September,
I ate a star so tender.
It tasted like a sandwich
That made my tongue twitch.
Once I tasted that star,
I wanted to go as far…
To taste the solar system and everything…
And drink the Milky Way--anything!
Won't it be really fun
To have a taste of the sun?
AH…the taste of red-hot chili!
Won't that be just so silly?
If ever you run out of grapes
While you're outside in space,
Go to Pluto and eat it…
Though it's bigger than your face!
Your meal outside earth is now complete--
With Pluto as dessert, and asteroids as meat!
A cool sip from the Milky Way
Will brighten up your day!
Play “dodge ball” with the sun,
But just avoid a ray.
When you play with the solar system,
You'll never again want to miss 'em!
Just wait for another night,
And they'll be back in sight.
