out of this world
Jeff Bezos
oh no you don’t
it seems we can’t avoid
the asteroid
so Bezos builds a cock-shaped rocket
gets Amazon trucks to stock it
charges a billion bucks to go on it
the usual suspects apply:
all the sheikhs in Dubai
Trump, natch
an extra seat for his thatch
Zuckerberg, Musk, Gates
Putin and assorted mates
the back seats sprawling with plutocrats
sundry arsey aristocrats
the guy who bought Tiffany’s
having an epiphany
at the porthole tearfully
as the doors slam shut
and before you can tut
the rocket shoots up in a cloud of dust
but oh! what a shock!
it flies
through the skies
straight into the rock
coming in from the sun at one o’clock
and the first thing wiped
is the rocket in flight
which is good to know
‘cos the crowd below
need something to smile about before they go

CUT TO:
[ Captain Kirk
up for adventure, glad for the work
grunts, barely awake
slumped in his chair
lustrously fake hair
:::: Short Blond Wig for Halloween
Get it Tomorrow, October 15 :::: ]
[ Elon Musk
brilliant but brusque
eyebrows plucked
stares into a piece of techy kit
unemotionally analyses it ]
MUSK: Captain – we’re picking up activity
in the vicinity
of the Cardboard Nebula
KIRK: On screen!
( ::: 17.3 inch gaming monitor
save £6 with this voucher :::: )
[The monitor gives a worrying wobble
revealing a hooded and hobble
looking geezer
like an unleaded Vin Diesel
with a weasley kinda smile
like he’s been planning this a while
and in a coupla parsecs
you’ll be out on your arsecs ]
KIRK: (spitting) Bezos!
JB: Hello James
Please! No more games
Our instruments show
your reviews are low
so although
I’ll be sorry to see you go
Bezos is business, you know…
[ He fires a sudden and sneaky volley
of bullets from the shopping trolley

KIRK: Cards up!
Scotty! We need more credit!
SCOTTY: Ah’m sorry Cap’n! I’m spending all she’s got but ah cannae change the laws of market forces…
MUSK: Captain. According to my calculations
we have ten seconds before account cancellation
KIRK: Scotty? Remember that uniform I got?
The one I thought would make me look hot
but for one reason or another unfortunately did not?
(:::: Cosplay Shirt, Gold, Black or Blue

Wrap it round a proton torpedo
beam it over on my signal…
[The package duly materialises
and before Bezos realises
what it meant
his ship gets splashed across the firmament]
MUSK: Enemy destroyed, Captain.
[Everyone claps him]
KIRK: (smirking)
I guess he got what he deserved.

the constellation of jeffrey
Jeffrey Bezos
rich as pharaohs
rides his gleaming space vibrator
with a qualified pilot and navigator
gets a minor epistaxis
thinking about his unpaid taxes
but suddenly he’s weightless
billions lighter but destined for greatness
presses his shining face to the glass
amazed they got away so fast
stares back down on planet Earth
wonders what the old rock’s worth
