1) Razzmatazz! UFOs, aliens and humans in a zero to 3-D film sci-fi:
Among cipher sized dots, amoebic lines, V figures and pyramids high,
Peppy-zippy Riffraff-rabble built a time machine: chimera sized kit,
Tesseract with gizmos: graphene, UMM and iridium – Himself in it,
Err eery tech Jeri: a leech on the beach, ring a lingo and bring a dingo!

2) Night and day fly by! Gladder than goblins and faster flying saucers,
With the speed of dragons, he rode into futurology but stirred, chirr –
Dawned the era: 199G, time: 4-D, year: 704805 AD – Stood still in a true fir!
Met dwarf-morphs: Utopian Vs dystopian traits in diametric defaulters.
Err eery tech Jeri: a leech on the beach, ring a lingo and bring a dingo!

3) Morphs: Cobwebby bipeds & cute apples on dual lanes of alien-stands
With circled faces, pillar noses, ruby lips, fake smiles, airy-fairy hands
Dulcet tones, biggish eyes, and shortsighted rat race – Men = women
As difference = zero, the real McCoy of our Diaspora: itsy-bitsy men
Err eery tech Jeri: a leech on the beach, ring a lingo and bring a dingo!

4) Lived without dangers and hardships lacked strength and smarts – Yes
Loosey-goosey Rip-van-Winkles subtracted ginger, added foolishness,
Multiplied weakness, divided brains, lost IQ, & made wonderful sounds
Of thunder, wishy-washy vegans ate vitamin capsules & died as zany hounds.
Err eery tech Jeri: a leech on the beach, ring a lingo and bring a dingo!
