Adventures in Space

The gathering skies are black like ink. And ventures into Outer Space Give very little cause to think We'll find it a convenient place. While atoms split, the universe • Goes steadily from bad to worse.

But, though celestial discords jar, Even Outer Space must have its fun. The Worker has become the Star. The Herald has become the Sun. And who can doubt that very soon The Mail will be the Daily Moon?
