Is Jupter an orange-red rubber ball?
Or is the gas giant a smushy liquid cloud?
Sailing through the rings of Saturn the spaceship Bore-On shutters in anticipation:
In a place where tee equals tee minus one --
A blast from the ast bubbles up the mast.

From port the wind breaks to starboard;
The keel cuts through the bottom space
like ripper-jack cutting into the cheese;
A blue-green haze shadows the bow;
Greeting the sailors stumbling back down.

U B Dumbly echoes into Juno's cave,
"How 'bout some cheer in the rear...,
What did I just see and say?"
Spoken, Sss plus one equals tee;
U B will never see
without Auntie Dictionary
and Uncle Thesaurus.
