DON'T PANIC and CARRY A TOWEL

Ode to My Lifetime Achievements At This Particular Point in Time Through the Dubious Media of Vogon

I like hitch-hiking round the galaxy



So I thought I’d write some poetry



Vogon in nature, I hope you I’ll agree



Or I’ll grubble your fruncheons and cut down your tree.







I said before, that I like to travel



I don’t, but I prefer it to gravel.



I like to hit crabs on the head with a gavel



Shouting “Resistance is useless!” as their brains do unravel.







I’m not a Vogon, I’m really a man



A man not a girl like Trillian



She’s a girl I met in Islington



At a party where she left with a two headed man.







Then those wretched Vogon’s destroyed my home



And ever since I’ve been forced to roam.



And roam I do, though not to Rome



Cos Rome’s not there any more.







You’re getting bored so I’ll write faster



So far it’s borderline disaster



I’m desperate for a gargle blaster



Although they hurt the morning after







Last time it got me really pished



I tripped and lost my babel fish



Tout en parlent avec Eccentrica Gallumbits



I was seeing quintuple, that’s fifteen tits!







Marvin doubts that story’s true



So flumbly grumbles and slimbly poo



I hope you’ve got your towel with you



Go enjoy your life and it’s forty two.
