Rachel's Madeline Poem

In an old spaceship in the galaxy that was covered with rust
Lived 10 lost supernatural creatures trying to adjust
Trying to adjust they broke their bread
And brushed their teeth and went to bed
They frowned at the good and smiled at the bad
And sometimes they were very sad
They left the ship at half past nine
Without a sign
In search of crime
Trying to avoid grime
The palest one was Vanessa
She was not afraid of True Fae
She did not miss the day
To the demons in space
Vanessa just said, “I will slap you in the face!”
And in the ship below
She knew how to frighten Captain Nemo
In the middle of the night
Captain Nemo turned on zer light
And said, “Something is not right!”
Vanessa sat up in bed
She cried and cried, her eyes were red
Hobson came quickly by
To see what made poor Vanessa cry
After listening to Zund go on about bombs
Hobson rushed to use the com
he dialed
“Roxie!” he said
“It’s an intermittent catatonia”
Everyone had to cry
Not a single eye was dry
Vanessa was in his arms
In a blanket safe and warm
In a pod with one red pencil case
They flew out into space
Vanessa woke up two hours
Later, in a room with flower
Vanessa soon fed
And the person bled

and a crack on the ceiling seemed to have a top hat
and looked like a cat.
Outside were birds, trees, and sky -
and so ten days passed quickly by.

One nice morning Captain Nemo said,
"Isn't this a fine -
day to visit Vanessa."

VISITORS FROM TWO TO FOUR
read a sign outside her door.
Tiptoeing with solemn face,
with some flowers and a vase,
in they walked and then said "Ahhh,"
when they saw the toys and candy
and the dollhouse from Nemo.
But the biggest surprise by far -
it wasn’t totally bizarre!

"Good-bye," "we'll come again," Nemo said with a cough
and the Echo fly off.
They went home and broke their bread
brushed their teeth
and went to bed.

In the middle of the night
Captain Nemo turned on the light
and said, "Something is not right!"
And afraid of a disaster
Captain Nemo ran fast
and faster,
and ze said, "Dear crew do -
tell me what is troubling you?"
And all supernatural creatures cried, "Boohoo,
we want to have intermittent catatonia too!"

"Good night, my lovelies!
Thank the stars you have a beau!
And now go to sleep!"
said Captain Nemo.
And ze turned out the light -
and closed the door -
and that's all there is -
there isn't any more.
