Roll up, roll up the hour is late
just one seat left, don’t hesitate
I’m your pilot, Captain Dick
welcome aboard my Pogo Stick
This craft is fueled with mustard soup
high grade, so we can loop the loop
Where are we bound for? No one knows
I guess we’ll go where Pogo goes
Before we take off, just one thing
all bounce, we need to prime the spring
In flight we’ll serve you Earl Grey tea
we find it helps with gravity
Folks, we’ve left the Earth behind
one giant leap, for all mankind
First port of call will be the moon
no smoking please, we touch down soon
Please use the toilet if you must
it helps to dampen down the dust
There’s not a lot for you to do
but leave a footprint of your shoe
Our destination next is Mars
where some may like to try their bars
But not too many or you’ll find
you’re over weight, and left behind
Now toodle off and don’t be late
we leave for home at half past eight
Welcome back, please take your seat
but first be sure you wipe your feet
On touch down you should be aware
if you have something to declare
That customs tend to be quite mean
when they discover where you’ve been
I hope that you enjoyed the trip
aboard my new Trans-astral ship
Goodbye to all from Captain Dick
the pilot of your Pogo Stick
..
In a list
Please tell me what you think

This was just superb! I trip on your pogo stick...that certainly would be interesting in itself. I love the trip to the moon and mars and back again. It sounded like a lot of fun but boy, that pogo stick must have been one bumpy trip for such a long way to go. Well written with great smooth rhyme and rhythm and perfect flow. You never cease to amaze me. It doesn't seem to matter what the subject is, you will always make a wonderful funny story out of it. Just such a pleasure to read.

LOL
now that would be some bumpy ride.

Hahah..dang this was Good!!! I liked every bit of
this poem from start to finish..keep that pen going my friend
-

Let me know when the next available trip is!!
Always such a BIG pleasure to read your muse!

I'm not too sure about this trip
foreign sounding drinks we'll sip
way out there amongst the stars
in glitzy alien stripper bars
Shopping in space hyper-malls
buying trash and weightless balls
hand signs work, no need for speech
served by an orange stripy leech
No animals to keep as pets
no gambling or placing bets
close your eyes and have a doze
in space you'll be quite comatose
So Captain Dick on this time round
I'll keep feet firmly on the ground
send an invite when in town
'cos what goes up must sure come down!!!
Many thanks Pen for yet another little gem from your golden nib ... and say Hi to your friend Legend for me.

l.o.l.
So it's the PEN who's at it again!! l.o.l. hey big guy, I see my dancing Queen has said to you what i've said in the past..and really even if you just gather what you have here on AP ..and print them out, staple them together i'd be willing to buy it, ofwith an autograph attached it would make it twic as special! an excellent and funny add on to your already amazing collection of ap gem!!!

I never have so much fun as I do reading your poetry. I am truly convinced that you are not human at all and your mind comes from a galaxy far, far away. I don’t know how anyone can perfectly rhyme such lunacy. I hope with all my heart that I see the collection of your work in a published book someday soon and when I do, I want an autographed copy of the first edition.
Love,
Amera♥

Dear Amera
You are right i am not of this planet I come from Zoota which disintegrated in 1963 when the Beatles played their first concert there,I escaped in Ringo's base Drum.
Now back to Earth your comments and compliment are far to generous (but what the heck i accept them)
As for a book of my work, no way, never had the yearning to do more than write for the joy i get from it. but it is wonderful to know that you would consider my work worthy of owning one Thank you so very much
-
-
You sir, are completely off your rocker...and we are so thrilled!! This is awesome!! Thanks for taking the time to amuse.
-
-
Dear Topnotchsy why has it taken you so long to realize i am completely off my rocker My dentist knew it as soon as he saw me sign the cheque for my hair cut
none the less i am pleased to hear that you enjoyed this little bit of nonsense
thank you
-
-
As always a fabulous piece in all its wonder. (not even going to ask how this one came about) Loved it much anyways... Thanks for the smiles Legend and the trip....mal

Mal my friend so pleased you did not ask me where this one came from as i would have had to tell you(then kill you) as it is meant to be a Military secret weapon and i have already exposed to much.
I now have to watch out for men in bowler hats and poison umbrellas -
-
He He.. Kill me, men in bowler hats and poison umbrellas,....I need to share whatever it is your drinking my friend, and I don't think for one minute Earl Grey does that to anyone..LOL...mal

Whimsical and wonderful. I enjoyed this alot. Earl Grey sounds great right now as well..I think I'll bounce off for a refreshing cup. Great write you have penned.

Caroline please be careful with the Earl Grey tea is sugar is added it can become an hallucinogenic. Twice as powerful as Assam And is not recommended to be used when once has control of a pogo stick unless fully trained
PS I offer discount lessons to regular readers $100 -£75 or 80 Euros per hour

I loved this so much I thought I'd Boing along to the kitchen to see how my tea is and then maybe Boing up the road with the dog!

Hilly you need to be extra careful ridding a Pogo Stick when walking dogs.Great Dane have been known to go crazy and savage the owner >as they are highly trained stick retrievers So take care

lol i've never ridden on a pogo stick but this was a fun trip. A lovely light hearted rhyme to brighten up the afternoon
-
-
Dear Lily of the Valley ( what a wonderful name)
Never ever ride a Pogo stick unless it has stabilizers attached,or has the spring disconnected More people have met their demise cracking their heads on ceilings than a little
Take care
-
-
Too much time on your hands? Lol... this is fabulaous my friend! I so enjoyed the journey on the pogo stick! Wonderful adventure!
-
-
Dear Frog i think you may be right
I'll work on wasting time tonight
but don't blame me if you should find
that it unbalances my mind
-
-
I think it clear the pen has flipped
On purple ink he must have tripped
I think you should have gone by truck
In case you found your pogo stuck!
-
-
How did you know about the ink
I'd hoped i would avoid the stink
That happens when folk realize
what they find before their eyes
Is nothing but a cruel deception
and all part of the French Connection
To flood the world with Pogo Sticks
in line with party politics
That states if their effort fails
to get the English to eat snails
This way they'll cause great traffic logs
and force them all to dine on Frogs
-
-
What a wonderful adventure, and a fine example of imagination and rhyme. Great job.
