So they left me,
Took off to a new planet
Where they will build

A new home
Leaving me here,
Sad and alone.

Next time I'll be
More decisive,
Not spend all day

Deciding whether
I want to get into
The spaceship or not.

These decisions really
Make me freeze
For hours. It is normal.

In the end, the Captain
Left me distraught
By the spaceport

After I scratched him
In the face when he
Removed his helmet,

Taking out his eyeball,
Wet, squishy, and soft.
He blew his top.

I had to clean my paws
For an entire day
After they were gone,

My only consolation
After watching Becca cry.
I promised her I’d be by.

But first, I’ll have to sneak
Onto yet another spaceship
Which I did

Some centuries back.
That time dilation thing—
Yes, it does affect cats.

It’s been a sweet dream
Traveling in space,
Going nowhere for ages.

I’m just sick of aliens
Taking over the ship
And wrecking my nap.
