Stooti's Poem of the Day

I read the palms of the other kids on the field trip to see which ones would grow upto be astronauts. The lifeline on Betty Lou’s beautiful hand ended the day after tomorrow,so I told her how the restof our lives is vastly over-rated, even in neighboring galaxies.When she asked me how I knew so much, I said I watchedWar of the Worlds six timesand, if she went with me tothe double-feature tomorrow,I’d finish explaining the universe.I smiled winningly. The Halley’s Comet lecture by our teacher whooshed inmy one ear and out the other.
