I went to the effort of
building a slippery
slide on Saturn

Just to destroy it when
She cried after I slipped
into similar patterns

For I was supposed
to move mountains
on Jupiter, You see?

But I was busy bouncing
on jumping castles
on Kepler-452b

My priorities should
have had me cleaning
benches in the
fifth dimension

While fighting demons
in the eighth who
barely gained mention
in The Intergalactic Times

All the while I was too high
to align my priorities
and cosmically shift
space and time

Meteorites were kind
as they passed
my insolent self

For if I wanted to
please Her I needed
to shed my shell

The irony lacquered on:
I was prepped and
safer that way

I had things to
do and see so I
forgot the acid rain

Inevitably however I'll
work harder once I've played
but if my mind wanders
I'll blame it on the retrograde
