Sprinkling Words Worth A Pinch Of Salt Seize The Moment After Wordsworth Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

With junk Earth sees Space sprinkled far and nigh,
Like ocean plastics, scandalously it showed;
Some falling fast from anchor they corrode,
Some veering up and down, one knew not why.
An alien vessel did I then espy
Come like a giant hornet from abroad;
Threateningly both night and day, abode
Elected over White House, hov'ring by.
The ship was nought to me, nor I to her,
Yet I pursued it with a fearful look;
This ship withheld all rest thatI prefer:
When will she turn, and whither? She will brook
No dice from human lice. Left in a blur:
Saucy saucer from my sails wind took.

Parody William WORDSWORTH 1770_1850 With ships the sea was sprinkled far and nigh,





WITH SHIPS THE SEA WAS SPRINKLED FAR AND NIGH


With ships the sea was sprinkled far and nigh,
Like stars in heaven, and joyously it showed;
Some lying fast at anchor in the road,
Some veering up and down, one knew not why.
A goodly vessel did I then espy
Come like a giant from a haven broad;
And lustily along the bay she strode,
Her tackling rich, and of apparel high.
The ship was nought to me, nor I to her,
Yet I pursued her with a lover's look;
This ship to all the rest did I prefer:
When will she turn, and whither? She will brook
No tarrying; where she comes the winds must stir:
On went she, and due north her journey took.
