Interstellar Corduroy Roy by Stewart Stafford
Taunted since he was a boy,
Thorn-crowned “Corduroy Roy”,
Hurled across sanity’s border,
A reluctant thundercloud hoarder.
His spacesuit? Pants! - Shade? Maroon!
Playing soccer-tennis on the moon,
Astronaut dust, his alma mater,
Hitched to Earth in a pocket crater.
Leapfrogged back to terra firma,
Just in time for his dog’s dewormer,
Gravity’s cords in the machine, unclean,
Freed himself from the lunar silt routine.
