The Great Dodge Lodge

There is a planet far away past the nearest star.
If you could see it you would find, it has a great big scar.

The giant scar, is not in fact a scar....it is a canyon!

And it is used for all the giant shuttle ships to land in.

So if you fly and zoom through space,

make sure you stop and visit this place.

In this valley, there is a lodge.

It is owned by a lodgeowner named Mr. Dodge.

He's a very nice fellow, so nice and clever,

his lodge can be very different however.

To this Planet-Scar Canyon Dodge Lodge I once went,

And it turned out to be quite a different event!

It’s not like any other lodge that you’ve seen

All of the walls there are painted lime green.

All the furniture there is not what it would seem,

And the roof is held up by one half-rotten beam!

The beam you see, had come from our earth,

and it had to be towed there because of it's girth.

On it's journey through space, it got stuck at one spot,

And remained there for weeks! (Which explains all the rot.)

But, besides the beam, and the walls of lime green,

The thing that they served there was a giant string bean.

They are served with a side of spaghetti dyed yellow,

And a microwaved, caramel dipped, chocolate marshmallow.

Now this I admit, was quite a good treat,

and mostly, I think, because it was sweet!

Another remarkable fact of this lodge

Is that every last room has a six-car garage!

And they also each boast a whirling, Snoozy Jacuzzi,

which I tried to try out, but it made me feel woozy.

On the first floor, I think, there's a large water slide

That's one-hundred feet tall and six-hundred feet wide!

And of the whole lodge, that is my favorite part,

it gives such a rush, that it nearly stops your heart.

At the gift shop, you can buy things like belts with big buckles,

And glasses, and candy, and gold honeysuckles!

So, despite all the downsides, there's more on the upside

And I think that is why you should try out this nice place to hide.

Yes, come to Dodge Lodge if you're ever in space,

But you might want to wear camouflage just in case!
