Visitor
Did you feel it, or might've seen it
But didn't hear it as it flew by us
Closest encounter in the past ten years
From a passer-by, the weirdest shaped rock
You ever did see, a quarter mile wide
It happened last night depending on where
You happen to be, and guess just how close
This visitor reached to making contact
With a monster splash or a ton of dust
Making a crater about five miles wide
Flyby: a million miles, is that far from you?
Rethink that while I say, only five times
Than our cousin Moon you could travel soon
I don't know 'bout you, closer than you think.
But relax for now, we're out of the red
One won't come that close for so many years
So now all we need to worry about
Is the hard real truth of nuclear war
That might/could come soon, then none of us need
To worry of jobs to pay for the rent
Or Internet hacks who'll steal your ID
And no asteroids to take us all out
Or leave some behind who linger a while
But there'll be no stress, now won't that be fine?
