\na transdimensional space goat,
\nthen went on to alternately explore
\nalter egos, stratospheric latitudes
\nand souvenirs from Earth.<\/p>\n
\njust swam the river, snuck up
\non a croc, grabbed it in its
\nferocious jaws then paddled back
\nto the opposite shore,
\nthat reptile about to be
\nmauled to shreds and consumed.<\/p>\n
