Travelling light

CHRISTOP LI ER HOLLIS

To a young lady of easy ways who is deeply interested in space travel.

My dear, the moral code of earth. Has been to you of little worth. Now in the realms of outer space Is further chance to fall from grace, Beneath the galaxy of stars To sin with little men from Mars, To find along the Milky Way Unnumbered paths from which to stray. But what a shame the astronaut, Relaying home his message, taught. Whatever else may come between us, There is no male life on Venus.
