Space Shorts

I bought some new shorts

and I sped into space. 

I shot past the planets

and relished the pace. 

 

I dashed through the galaxy,

all round the stars.

My jet-powered shorts

drove me on via Mars.  

 

I zipped and I zoomed

but I came to a halt.

I suddenly stopped 

with a judder and jolt. 

 

No words can express

the frustration I felt – 

my shorts were held up

by an asteroid belt.
