Heyo, heyo!
Come ta see my wares, have ya?
I'm an honest travellin' merchant,
I am.
Ya bet I am!
Ya name it,
I got it.
Eh?
What's the matter?
Ain't ya ever seen Allys Gear?
"No"?
Well, ya know what Allys is don't ya?
"No"!?
Slag, kid!
Yer missing out,
Ya are!
Sure as the sun,
Ya are!
Allys is the best and latest.
The sharpest swords,
The fastest guns,
The strongest armors,
The best of the best!
Ya name it,
I got it.
Feel free to s'periment, kid.
Go right ahead!
I swear on my habs-infested grave I don't bite!
(But I make no promises fer my wife.)
What's the matter?
Don't it fit?
Wha'd'ya mean,
"What's it fer"?
Slag, kid!
It's fer defense against the Ravage,
What else'd it be fer?
"What's the Ravage"!?
Slag!
Great wallopin' slag and habs, kid!
What's wrong with ya?
Not knowin' about the Ravage,
Slag!
The Ravage're monsters from Outside.
Wha'd'ya mean,
"So what is it"?
The Ravage's the enemy!
Who else'd we be fightin'?
"Ourselves"!?
Slag and habs, no, kid!
What an idea!
No, no, no;
That's 'mpossible!
"What's 'Outside'"?
Slag, kid,
Ya really have no idea?
"Earth"?
What is "Earth"?
Where yer from, is it?
Never heard of it.
It must be a small, out-of-the-way place,
Skirts village?
"No"?
A "planet"!?
No way!
This's the only planet what supports life.
Wha'd'ya mean,
"What planet is this"?
Slag and habs, kid!
This is Kjar!
Where else would we be?
Say, ya don't look so well.
Not so well at all.
I've got some Tonic,
If yer interested.
I'll give it to ya for a good price,
I will.
I'm an honest travellin' merchant,
I am.
Ya name it,
I got it.
This is the second poem I wrote for my Science-Fiction/Fantasy class. I hope you enjoyed it!☺

PoesieIf you're one of those folks that think that all poems need to rhyme, I'm sorry. In any case, this is a simple collection of poems. A few of them rhyme. But most of them don't.
