Prophecy, 2002 We're in the era of speed, you see, For we have turned the century, We climbed in the Bekins' new jet balloon To take a trip up to the moon. Keeper of our cash was Mary Loe, Because of her thrift we were able to go, She guarded our class of F ifty-two So we always had funds with which to do. Our captain and pilot was Phyllis. There were times when we thought she might kill us, But she laughed and she sang as gaily she flew, And her loops and her turns did see us safe through. Efficient Marlene was stewardess, so She fed us salmon and cold roast crow. Virginia Marion was navigator, One of the passengers tried to date her. As we flew through the air with the greatest of ease We saw Linda and 'Leda a-riding the breeze, They painted the signs which guide the ships Through the dark which comes with each eclipse. Lloys and Lynn patrolled the skies Giving tickets to eligible guys, On the back of each was a lunar phone number So no good prospect could make a blunder. Henrietta said she had been to Mars And had visited most of the nearby stars, Hence a trip to the moon was scarce worthwhile, All of which we heard with a friendly smile. The moon grew bigger as we drew nearer, The lights on the airport shone ever clearer. Customs inspector was Mary Ann For she is lunar custodian. As St. Nick alumns we were rushed through the gate With top priority, like wartime freight, For Judy took care of the immigration And arranged in advance for our ozonation. As we left the port in this brand new land, The first thing we saw was the hot dog stand, Where apples and cookies were sold by Diane Some fresh from the Earth, and some in a can Jackie's name could be seen from afar For she is the lunar opera star, Coached by Sally in English accent, They both set their caps for the Duke of Kent We strolled through the town, meeting many classmates, Not one looked old, they'd eaten phosphates. Robin sat knitting an iron space suit While awaiting a black convertible coupe. The moon is of cheese, some people feel But we all know it is made of steel. Fair Kitty sat on some imported granite Accepting calls from every planet. We remembered the days of old T. V. On the moon they watch the Lunar V. Carla was on the screen that day, And we saw the blonde curls of Lillie May. Legal Eagle of Lunar Land This title Landon does command, She battles her way through every fight Completely convinced she is always right. Peggy and Mary, those publishing twins Up there on Moon continue their sins. The Lunar Light is a scandalous sheet, But for the news it cannot be beat. At ze fashion house of Madame McKeever Ze price you pay, you will not believe her. Ze Joyce, she model ze belles moonbeams While from her eyes dart ze dangerous gleams A happy two weeks we spent on the moon Then soared back to Earth one wild afternoon. Our hearts were glad for the grand trip together, St. Nick's are all gay, regardless of weather. SUSY Q 2002 A.D.
