On the morning of Undari on the moon of Ootermay
\nWe were stalking several lumpars that we’d cook for lunch that day
\nFar above us were the starbirds that had told us of this place
\nAnd were happy to observe us in the chase<\/p>\n
When we set off from our starbase twenty light years out from Earth
\nWe were staggered to discover that this moon could hide the birth
\nOf a species that spoke English and lived high up in the sky
\nAnd were shocked to find we really couldn’t fly<\/p>\n
Ootermay is quite a giant almost larger than the sun
\nAnd it’s rings cascade with lightning making starbirds scream in fun
\nWhen we tasted deep fried lumpars we were glad we sought the stars
\nThere is nothing quite so tasty back on Mars<\/p>\n
We were mining antimatter near a black hole that we found
\nWhen the starbirds in their starship stopped to ask us to pop round
\nFor they couldn’t quite believe it there were mammals that could talk
\nAnd the way they got around was just to walk<\/p>\n
When we’re done with our exploring we will head back home to Sol
\nTo the star that spawned our species and the bands play rock and roll
\nThere we’ll tell them of Undari and the journeys we have flown
\nAnd we’ll still just talk to parents on the phone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
