Born to Warble

We bleat here on this ball of clay

The ratatat of an ultra terrestrial view

with feet clad in gloop on red dirt

I whip my eyes like the aliens do

What a rush this whizz and rumble

on a sliver of light so hush

My adoration, belch-born

shows in my chatter this crush

Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!

Bound to earth they gurgle and tweet

and repeat and ribbit and quack!

They humph a lot and scold

my extra spacious sizzle and knack

But I was born to warble

as my starship chugs along

The engine purrs

and my heart still stirs

as I snort and sing my song

Woosh as you weave star-climber!

Drip down Big Dipper and ever dream

Never mind the clink and clatter

Splash deep in this Milky Way stream!
