The moon plunged from its orbit
And it splashed down in a lake,
<i>Could</i>
Its slosh bespatter Venus,
Cause the planet's poles to quake?
<i>If</i>
A telescopic failure
Had not Venus in its sight,
<i>Could</i>
The water spots from lunar splash
Have blocked reflected light?
<i>What</i>
Kind of retribution's fair
For Venus' lack of glow?
<i>Could</i>
Some confiscated moonbeams
Be repayment—<i>quid pro quo</i>?
<i>If</i>
The Astronomic Space Guild
Used an ion of prevention,
<i>Could</i>
The effort then impede and
Maybe stop the moon’s descension?
<i>Could</i>
Perhaps some nylon fishing line
Attached to lunar craters
<i>Then</i>
Suspend the Moon from Saturn’s rings
To force its orbit straighter?
<i>Would</i>
Our galaxy launch space police
And fine us many times
<i>For</i>
Our failure to maintain control
And reckless water crimes?
<i>Would</i>
We garner culpability
For saturated races?
<i>Frankly</i>,
Can’t the Venus masses
Stand a sploshing on their faces?
<i>So</i>,
Fair warning, Venus dwellers,
If you spot a lunar flash,
<i>Seek</i>
Some shelter in that instant
‘Cause you’re destined for a splash.</center>
