Roundabout Way

Look I said, I'm building you a house. Funny, you said, I think it has no perigee, no zenith. Look, I said, I'm putting a fence around it. What, you said, How come no satellites? Over here, I said, I'm planting lettuce in your garden. Where, you said, Have you planted Venus and Mars? I'm almost finished cutting the grass, I said. Would you like to sit On the lawn?

Ha, you said. The galaxy got away From you the the left and the right. Here, I said. Take this key. It is the key to the Milky Way. I'll try it, you said. Let's see if it fits the front do or to our house.
