MoonShot

The crew were feeling punchy
aboard the Space Shuttle Seraglio,
maybe it was the trips duration
everyone longing for their homes,
ready to see familiar stars
and sick to death of space chow,
hungry for a galaxy they knew.
When they hit the third planet from a lesser sun,
and vanished into a gaping black hole.
One pair clung together,
unafraid to show their love,
if this was their last moment,
eyes (all ten of them) terrfied,
tentacles trembling
and the last words from these lovers
was  "+^*HOI{HHO:BBJIHGUOI*(}{?"
Roughly translated,
"Darling---do you smell fish?"
