Bones the Space Dog flies to Pluto

Soaring in his perfect rocket

His mind is set, his body engaged

Plenty of kibble in his pocket

Zoom, zoom, there goes our Bones

Scribbling a trail past Mars

He yearns so he learns to fly in the sky

Faster than his guiding stars

He took a detour: he stops by Venus

To ask for a cup of tea

There he meets Mittens, his beloved kitten

And together they go wheeeee!

Smitten with Mittens, he buys her a rose

And she soon becomes his toy

In return, she gives him a litter of kuppies

Which fills his heart with joy

He looks at his pocket and he sees some room

So he works harder and smarter to fill

The more kibble he gets, the more he wants

But to fill it? He never will

Kitten, kuppies, and kibble

Bones has got it all

But when he looks around the empty space

He always feels so small

So harder and smarter has he bartered

To be just that bit better

Yet he never will beat his ghost rival

The super space setter

Almost at Pluto! Just a week more

Or maybe even a day?

Perhaps he can beat the setter at last

There must be another way

To be faster! Oh, to be faster!

Bones is simply all in

‘Turns on the engines!’ He cries to his kuppies

‘This time, I shall win’

Little does he know that on a track

Not so far away

There flies a meteor, juicier, meatier

Than his little sleigh

Crash! Blast! Clang! Clap!

They collide in slow motion

Pieces explode, floating parts galore

Within the space ocean

And so, for chasing a mere ghost setter

Bones and his family were doomed

The melted away like the dust that they were

And all that were left, were bones.
