Cosmic Joker

I'm the cosmic joker and I like to have fun.
Some days I feel like blocking out the sun.
On the moon I place my own flag.
If anyone asks what went wrong, I'll say the astronauts  must have had jet lag.
Sometimes I wonder about Pluto, that cosmic rock.
There are many things these earthlings believe that I like to mock.
A rabbit with a basket of eggs and an old man in a sleigh.
Wouldn't they rather want to travel along the cosmic rays?
The light shining from the sun I stole.
For I just rolled the planet Earth into a black hole.

Hope this is alright for the contest.

    Now how did I miss this one
    Oy!!! Where was I- on Venus
    Quite a piece penned here Beautiful~

    I guess one could become excited over Pluto-

    One could get stimulated with the subject as a whole- or black hole whichever brings a smile
    Ok my humor is
    Love this!!

      Thanks, Desire. I'm guessing from your laugh symbol that obviously the problem lies with the commenter, not me, the writer. I'm not talking about you, of course. Your comments are awesome, but I'm sure you already knew that.

      Yeah, maybe Pluto was the reason for the person's excitement, eh? lol.

      Thanks for the congrats. This win honestly came as a surprise. Chantell was really nice in judging that one, or maybe I'm just too modest about my work.

      Thanks, again.

    I like the cynical approach this has. Us beings and our romantic superstitions, that were once based on instinct without research. The tangled perfect mess the universe is, is beyond anyone's comprehension factually, but, perhaps not so much in our unfathomable imaginations. Maybe, it becomes exactly what we wanted to imagine it to be.

      Thanks, Sis. I wasn't exactly going for a cynical approach, but as far as mockery goes, absolutely. Maybe the universe is what we make of it, eh?
      Thanks for your comment.

      Honestly, I didn't think this was that good when I first wrote it. I was just being creative and having fun with the poem. Thanks for the congrats.

      Scary?
      lol. That wasn't my intention for this piece at all. I was trying to make it funny.

      Thanks for always being supportive of my work, Holly.

    I do know, and have heard of the 'Cosmic Joker' -also known as 'Sod's Law'. Your rhyme is wonderful in this, as is your imagery too. Well done indeed on your gold.

      Thanks, Wayne. I haven't heard of the Sod's Law. I kind of just took the picture and got creative from there. I appreciate you stopping by my page and commenting.
