if you look up at the sky's dark shore
and see the flash of a meteor,
and instead of fading, it seems more bright
you might soon be dead from a meteorite!
And if by chance, you're scientifically inclined, A telescope, binoculars Will magnify the jocular Results. Reality betrays the popular, Albeit, nerdish cosmic fascinations, And all those brain-stem machinations, With retinae detached, I'm blind.
On 11-03 I wrote 'Like Shooting Stars.' Today I read this by you. Are we psychic, psycho or what. You don't have to hit me in the head before I see the light.
Cute, Chuck! I won't be viewing any stars for a long time; you never know. Well done with excellent wit as always! Christmas wishes, Beth
Good! ! ! I love science poems. Check out some of mine on my poem list!
Very funny, great stuff. My good Sir, you underestimate me as one smart fella Because I have a good umbrella.
Comic genius! LOVE it! I've got to read some more of your work! Glad i started on this one - hilarious!
You are making me laugh! although I believe death by meteor is no laughing matter!

Out of the stars, blazing the night, falls Charles Audette’s “A Meteor, Right? ” I’m smoking—carbonized! —or worse struck dumb by this flaming lump of verse!
