Amazon Exclusive: A Poem by Jack Prelutsky There Are Things Out There There are things out there in the void of space That we know nothing about. Some may resemble volleyballs And feel like sauerkraut. They may be cold, they may be hot, They may be huge or small. They may be friendly, they may be not, They may not care at all. Perhaps one has a thousand arms And malice in its heart. Perhaps its dire intention Is to rip our limbs apart. Perhaps one plans to turn us Into mounds of cookie dough. We don’t know what’s in outer space, We simply do not know.--Jack Prelutsky
