‘I never said anything like that Bridy!’

Bridy Sneachta knew three things:

  • Her coffee mug was sneering.
  • Interstellar travel causes delusions.
  • And that she was now venting all the spacecraft’s oxygen.

Bridy composed a rhyme as she worked.

‘Sorry I doubted you commander,
the coffee mug was mocking me,
…and made me think your instruction would kill us all.
But,
in outer space you must keep your head,
to lessen your chances of becoming dead.’
