outer


by fred flynn



arthur was an alien
with a long green nose
and when he walked through spaceport
the humans stopped and froze

buck was a barbarian
with a long iron sword
he had a girl named jenny
whom he could not afford

darl krogar was an admiral
of the galactic fleet
he dreamed of a woman with long red hair
whom he would someday meet

the woman had no name
and she did not exist
and those who wish to meet her
are added to the list

eddie jones was lost in space
and went down with the ship
he had been a solid square
but all his mates were hip

franklin tracked the paths of stars
and put pins on a map
he wore a red and yellow tie
and a purple baseball cap
