Worldship
I must go up to the sky again, to the dark beyond the blue,
And all I ask is a worldship and a star to steer it to, And a million colonists or more, and a planet for the taking, And a crazy plot like a juggernaut that the author is half-baking. February 2023
From the Daily Whale.
Parody of the opening of
“Sea Fever” by
John Masefield.
