The
Gourmet Space Tour
Let’s take a Gourmet tour in space
A million dollars if you please
The capsule’s plush, the captain’s chic
Have rocket salad with lunar cheese
First stop’s the Moon, the Serpent Sea
Lodge Moondust serves exquisite fare
The choicest snakes done in their skins
They grill them in a solar flare
Then on to Mars, Olympus Mons
The restaurant’s called the Very Top
Seventeen miles up, it’s giddy stuff
All I can eat is one yak chop
Now back to Venus, rest inside
Cloud Bubble as the planet toasts
The view’s not good, but you can dine
on laver bread with crater roasts
We end with far-flung Jupiter
and dock at café Great Red Spot
The food’s recycled 50 times
Why don’t you start? I think I’ll not
