Space Jousting

Black hole pulsars emanate
Rich and booming bass
Sordid planets ruminate
On dominating space

Tails of comets grace the skies
Stars light up the field
Cosmic horses chomp their bits
Pages shine the shields

Banners wave without a wind
Silent crowds rejoice
Hearts beat in anticipation
Squires make their choice

No such honor does compare
To taking up the lance
Crashing knights collide in space
An interstellar dance

Floating over stars
Racing towards white knights
Steady hands prepare
For space jousting

Smokestacks billow ruby dust
Diamonds shower down
Old equipment left to rust
Littering the ground

Hazy skies suggest a time
That's long before the past
Ancient horseshoes draw the line
Where shining knights would clash

Here was valour, here was pride
Fought out on this turf
Here were maids with shining eyes
Here were scruffy serfs

Martian kings with endless schmaltz
Wooed planetary dames
Imagining their spatial waltz
Calls splendor from the grave
