LOL! Hahaha! I love the ending... verrry clever. The whole poem is funny, but that line's the clincher for my very last six of the week. Well done, Bill. :)

Comment from Jay Squires
Excuse me! But that is funny and your punch-line couldn't be more effective.
All the papers took a turn
at saying Rick would not return
since, for a successful flight
he'd have to land at night
Every time I read that last stanza, I guffaw anew.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Haha, well, contrary to the beliefs of some members here, many of our funny poems are based upon old jokes we've heard throughout our lives, Bill. But taking that joke and adding your personality and personal touch to it, while still maintaining the integrity and intended meaning of the joke, now that's the key. And you did that in spades with this funny, fantastic little verse. "he'd have to land at night.", he says, tongue-in-cheek. Ha-ha-ha-ha-a-a-a-aaaaaaaaaaa...!!!
Thanks for the laugh, Bill. I really needed one today.

I love your quirky rhymes. It would be nice to think that he reached the planet and came back. At least his lawyer had the sense to plan for any eventualities.
