Touching the Planets


I have never told this to anyone before

So you must promise to keep it secret

Okay then I will proceed

I have a talent a very special talent

That is that I can touch planets

 

This first became apparent to me

When I touched Venus one night

I then touched Mercury without difficulty

Mars was next and then Jupiter Saturn and Neptune

But I did not touch Uranus as Venus had already slapped my face
