A SCARED ASTRONAUT
By Andrei Dorian Gheorghe
.
.
If I go to the Boomerang Nebula
in Centaurus,
I'm afraid I'll cut myself in it.
If I go to the Beehive Star Cluster
in Cancer,
I'm afraid I'll get stung in it.
If I go to the Pinwheel Galaxy
in Ursa Major,
I'm afraid I'll get dizzy in it.
.
I need to think more
about how to protect myself! -
said a scared astronaut,
taking an extended sick leave.
