Y- 7' Q he liiltipaie Class Poem It happened in the year of nineteen seventy nine, That a real live aviator who was feeling fine, p Dezided that t'w.-is time, his new machine to try, And sail beyond the earth way up into the sky. He said he'd like to take a look at all the different stars, . Ani in iybe mike a visit to his friend the planet Mars. So he packed his bag and baggage to stay a week at least, Aiid put up in his lunchbag quite a little feast. And sailed from oh' the earth as an eagle in its flight, Till he landed on the planet Mars one calm and balmy night: And saw upon the desert waste, made up of rocks and sand, A lonely hut, but who lived there he couldn't understand, For the hat was very shabby and the door was battered in, And there wasn't a living creature with in the desert's rim: 3 But he thought he'd take a look, so in the hut he ventured, On earth whoever kept a house like this would sure be censured', The aviator muttered as he looked around in awe, For the dust lay inches thick upon the piles of books of law. H: oiokel no o ie old mnuscript that in the corner lay, And t'was records ancient that were kept from day to day, By Xena-spudy Zarden dome, the famed astrologer, Who also stubied law and was a great chronologerg He knew each star and plannet. he had studied earth care, But the only thing that was left of him, were his records lying there. Fha earth I have discovered, the records thus began, . 1 In August 1915, 'tis inhabited by man . Of a inostunusualspecies, peculiar to that star: The women all are suflragetes and the men are all at warg I find but little interest in their wars and petty fights, 'll.l?Y havent any brains and in sleep they waste their nightsg Their customs and their manners are barbarous and rude, They seldom stop their talkiizg and they're always guzzling food. i And here earth's record ended, abruptly in disgust, 'l'ill September 1915 and then he thought he must Upon this wonderous planetjust cast another look, His observation this time would fill up most a book.
