Today's Timerick: Rockets aren’t enough. Jeff Bezos and the growing commercial space industry now want to build space stations.

(Thanks to Christian Davenport.)



The magnates have decided that the heavens are the place/for stations that will make 'em richer than French bouillabaisse/A space station for Bezos, and a couple for Bill Gates/will naturally be charging stratospheric bizness rates/Any ship that docks in one of their posh ports of call/will find their crew and passengers escorted to the Mall/I suppose casinos and a cocktail lounge or two/will also be on offer for the passengers and crew/So many new space stations will be built these next few years/comets that are passing by will clip their frozen ears/And sneaky Martian conscripts that are trying to invade/will stop instead to purchase Warren Buffet's tapenade/NASA will be crowded out and astronauts downsized/as automation and AI become more standardized!
