MY SCI FI
by Cleve Taylor
My, my Sci Fi on the tube
What is it to be today?
Fish people with ray guns?
A scientist run amok?
Planets with tendrilled beasts to slay?
Or perhaps a utopia
In a galaxy we have never seen
Free of war, of crime, of hunger, or want
A place at once peaceful and pristeen
Or maybe a visiting alien
A visitor who lives within our midst
A replicate of your teacher or the kid across the street
His purpose unknown,
You can be sure of this.
Or maybe just a cuddly fur ball
Who grants you your every wish
Really great for show and tell
You can make all your friends famous and rich.
Remember that yesterday's fiction is today's science
And the fiction of today, the science of years to come.
But for now we must do the dishes.
Not to worry, there will always be re-runs!
