Me and Apocalypse Fox

In that infamous year 2020, deadly phosphine gas was detected in the already poisonous atmosphere
of the planet Venus, on whose hellish surface no known life form could survive.
Who could possibly be stu...brave enough to go there to investigate?

Apocalypse Fox landed the dilapidated ship
(crashed it is more like it)
in the backyard, shambled in
and flopped upon the couch
where I helped unzip his spacesuit
oh so slowly
(didn't wanna catch any fur in the zip)

Upon conclusion we returned to the ship
and blasted off to investigate
the phosphine gas in Venus' atmosphere.

The voyage was long, but soon they felt the ship
caught in the inexorable pull of the planet named for the goddess of love.

"It's takin' a while isn't it."
"Yeah, it's kindof a long way to Venus."
"We're speedin' up a bit..."
"Yeah that's normal, as we get nearer the planet."
"I dunno...I think we're goin' a little fast."
"Aw it's alright, calm down! Have a beer..."
"Um..I'm not so sure about this."
"Look, trust me! I'm a fox! OK lemme check the manual. Uh yeah: 'Prepare landing procedures".
"WHAT? I can't hear ya!"
"No...make it..CRASHING PROCEDURES!"

(Two Earth years later:)
Yeah Irm sure we can fix it if we can just find the pliers...i'm sure I saw 'em somewhere here under all this rubbish"
"Yeah that was like two months ago"
"Yeah I know, but..;OW"
