Poem by Bobby Goosey, NOBODY ELSE

 

Bobby Lee Goosey

 

Nobody Else

First verse (in a silly voice):

Ain’t nobody noplace, nohow, see?
Just us earthlings, just us worldlings,
Just us gangle-shanked earthikins, see?
 
Second verse (in a still sillier voice):

Ain’t nobody nohow nowhere else, see?
We is the onliest, just us loneliest
Earthbound earthikins, see?
 
Third verse (in a Carl Sagan voice):
 
We alone, only we in our star-bright galaxy,
We humans, human we, amalgamations
Of wispy and frangible coruscating stardust,
Only lonely we.
