The Space Traveller (for dark horse)

One day Liam was out strolling
when down came a space ship
frightened he saw the door open
and out quite casually strolled

His old feathered friend the duck
"sit down and listen" my irish friend
"I have been to space visited the moon
and spoke to the man who dwells there."

"On we went to Jupiter, Mars and Pluto
passed through the Milky Way and Plough
Then I thought Liam should be here too
jump aboard and we will fly the universe."

With fear in his heart Liam joined duck
strapped in he stared in awe and wonder
as in seconds they were circling Saturn
"Look ahead", said duck, "There is frog"

A very merry reunion was had by them all
Liam scratched his head "I can not trust
the two of you out of my sight. "Fairy
tale animals you are supposed to be."

Not space travellers. Frog said quite
logically. "I can not find a princess
on earth to kiss so I can be a prince
up here who knows the sky's the limit."

Duck joined in "I can fly around earth,
up here I am completely free and weightless
and up here I have the power of speech"
Liam thought and said, "I agree lets stay"




Liam has been writing about duck for
some time joined by frog in fishnet tights
I kid you not. Time they went universal.
