The Galaxy's Guide to the Hitchhiker - poem

The Galaxy’s Guide to the Hitchhiker

 

A very, very, very, very weak attempt at the Thai Khlong Suparb form

An idea suggested by Emily Johnson

On a topic suggested by an idea from Bulletcookie (sic)

 

       Gratitude to Douglas Adams will be found

  locked in a filing cabinet in a disused room in the basement

 

We are all hitchhikers of the spirit

Thumbing a ride to the moon and stars

And we fall for a pause on Mars

On our tide of discovery

 

And then swing an orbit around

An errant earthling satellite

Sweetly sing to its blinking light

While riding along on a comet

 

Do the stars have a guide to us?

We study our home galaxy

But does our galaxy study you and me?

We are all hitchhikers of the spirit!
