HOUSTONIAN CONVERSATIONS
CAN BE PROBLEMATIC
The digital display indicates a malf…
“I don’t want to be a scientist!.”
Please, Nimrod, check the readout!.
“I don’t wish to be called Nimrod any longer!.”
PLEASE! There is something wrong with
the wormhole-drive’s plasma redirector!.
“I cannot help you with that!. I am reading
Leo Tolstoy’s WAR AND PEACE!.”
“Houston, this Fobos VII!.”
Go ahead, Phobos!.
“Yeah, Houston, uh…this is Specialist Epolin!.
The hand-held Systems Diagnostic Unit’s
low battery alarm went off,
and now it’s talking like
TD Euwaite!.”
Have you tried hitting it with the rubber mallet!?
“If it was something easy, would I be calling you!?”

The rubber mallet suggestion took, what, about a year to get there!? Ya know, at some point somebody on the ship must have said the hell with Houston, we're on our own!. But you do illustrate the irony of Nimrod-ism!. Someone that can calibrate the plasma flux in a nixie tube but forgets to bring along some extra batteries!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Yikes!.
I am admittedly tired of your efforts and I must say this nonsense is no exception!. Quite like the late Dark Prince you are adored by many who think they "know" good poetry, which in turn fuels your motivation to pump out pretentious crap like this!.
That said, I am not trashing your whole body of work!. You have composed many fine poems that have touched me!. It's just that you seem to write stuff like this just to confuse people and sound smarter than them!. You feel me, b!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
Somebody put sugar in your rocket fuel and it crystallized into hard rock candy; even a stranger in a strange land would know this, it doesn't take a rocket scientist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I just got an idea!
I can slave the teleporter's energy backup system to the plasma redirector!. We're not going to land anywhere for a while!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
