The Sagan
The Sagan
once upon a midnight dreary
while i pondered weak and weary
over many quaint and curious volumes
filled with astro lore
suddenly there a came a tapping
as if someone gently rapping
rapping in the shadow just
outside my ancient chamber door
tis some visitor i muttered
tapping at my chamber door?
only this and nothing more
now i knew that i was sober
in this bleak and dark october
but who would come so late outside
perhaps the wind, and nothing more?
but presently my soul grew stronger
hesitating at last no longer
never napping, i heard rapping
so i opened wide the door
there i saw a ghostly sight
a darksome Sagan taken flight
i beckoned him to please be seated
over by the wooden floor
and q;uoth the Sagan ... whatevermore
why do you walk the earth undaunted
i asked the ghastly thing that haunted
haunted through my chamber door
stars! he screeched, your theater beckons
not enough as i have reckoned
how many, came my scream once more
quoth the Sagan
billions and billions more
