Ice-Nine

I saw little Red Riding Hood
sitting on a mushroom cap
looking like a caterpillar
simply taking her nap.
The Tin Men surrounded her
each holding an Atomic bomb
while Captain Kirk went boasting
he discovered Major Tom
who was lying on a city street
where a Mother could heard him cry:
news reporters flew into a rage
but no one asked them why.
And behind the door to nowhere
the White Witch drove her train;
she held the throttle open wide
to see what she could gain;
on her floor Miss Dorothy
kept piling yellow bricks,
so Alice called the Queen outside
and blinded her with tricks.
Soon a space ship called Apollo
on a mission to the moon
found David Bowie singing
with his Ziggy Stardust spoon.
He pleaded for a bathroom break
as two riders came his way;
but Neil Armstrong told him "Negative":
we ALL were here to stay.
Then a ghostly sound like sirens
came echoing round the hall
when Vonnegut in Cat's Cradle
used Ice-Nine to end his call.
but the operator was intrepid,
ran outside and threw her fist:
he thought that he could hang up,
but she found him on her list.
