Scales

When you are forced into a small corner of a smart shop.

There’s a planet known as Nebulis
Which isn’t far away
Interstellar Air Lines 
Could get there in one day
Now that space has opened up
You’d be there in a trice
But no one wants to go there
They say it isn’t nice 
It’s always cold, no one smiles 
And there’s more than often rain
Investing in a space suit
Just to get there is a pain
Nebulons love Nebulis
Especially when it’s soggy
The Nebulonal landscape
Glows only where it’s  boggy
They all wear special helmetz
Which keep out all the rain
For ease they keep them on all day
That’s why they look the same
A Nebulonal helmet 
Is really quite revered
But why they choose to wear it
Is not entirely clear
They must’ve lost the reason when 
The Great Big Portal closed
Since then there’s been sparse contact 
And no one really knows
The Nebulons of Nebulis
Now never venture far
They keep out interlopers
And changes come quite hard 
They like to do things their way
You couldn’t tell them not
They know the rules for this and that
And also what is what 
However times were changing
Once-upon-a-time was set to close
Leader Michelle Overcome
was wearing strange new clothes
“I urge you one and all” she cried 
“Check all helmetz that you’ve got
I think you’ve got them back to front
You can’t see diddly squat
Some seniors weren’t that happy 
They denied their helmetz wrong 
The didn’t want to make a change
They’d been that way so long
Michelle told them stories
She’d learnt from ancient bods
Of distant worlds where things were done
That seemed extremely odd
They looked at one another
Could they really be that mad
Could their helmetz really block
The vision they’d once had
Yay cried all the younguns
We knew this wasn’t  right
Now we see the universe 
We have to book a flight. 
The great big portal opened 
Some Nebulons went through
Many took their helmetz off
Or turned them on a skew
Others wore them proudly 
Declared all incorrect
But it didn’t really matter 
Since most of them had checked
Now Nebulis is changing
Travel suits are free
Lots of people go there
It’s a place they like to see.

A curious tale based on the supposedly true story of The Green Children of Woolpit brought to you in the medium of rhyme

you've got the outfit but nowhere to take it

Arriving in mid-life finding a creativity I didn't know was there. So I write rhyming peoms about things that I notice and set them to music.  No crisis here, it's a mid-life ball
