A dainty slip in awe, our Audrey Rose,
her telescope aimed starward to disclose
a virgin comet's aspect in full flight,
unbraided both her pigtails there that night.
Rapunzel of astronomy, she waited
for Joe - a boy she'd liked but never dated -
when suddenly, each lens simpatico,
she spied the comet, snatched a glimpse of Joe...
With one eye trained a thousand miles away, and clearly,
the other lost in foreign inches blurred, and nearly,
our Audrey trembled as her boy encroached,
her heart now spilling as his Lynx approached;
while, shed upon the planet's stratosphere,
the flaming debris started to appear
as meteors igniting all she'd primed;
magnifi-scent as aftershave sublimed.
A lonely body gravitating to her,
engaged and showering streaks of passion through her,
was fleeting as each nectar hearth attracts
in gardens where the force of orbit acts.
A club for young astronomers to bloom,
to search and find, each voyage to assume;
this comet's first encounter with the earth
our Audrey's roaring passion given birth.
