THE ADVENTURES OF “LITTLE WILLIE”

By Randall Garrett

ZAP!

Little Willie, full of fun,

Borrowed Daddy’s proton gun;

He tried it out with great elation

Now he’s cosmic radiation.

 

BLAZE OF GLORY

Little Willie made a slip

While landing in his rocket ship.

See that bright, actinic glare?

That’s our little Willie there.

 

HOT ARGUMENT

Willie and his girl friend, Bea,

While working for the A.E.C.

Got in a fight, and failed to hear

The warning of a bomb test near.

Their friends were sad to hear, no doubt,

That they had had a falling out.
