Are We There Yet?

By Elton Camp Even in a galaxy far, far away The same things kids will say Above or below the speed of light One question to the parent is a blight The trip is just barely under way Are we there yet? kid will say In response the parent just smiles No, Luke, its still a billion miles. A bit later, the question will remain Are we there yet? is still the refrain Luke, I am your father, he may add Ask that again and I will get very mad. Ill remove my mask so my face youll see. Then of that pesky question, Ill be set free.
