Pepe
Lupito threw moonrocks
for Pepe (his dog) to fetch.
Of course,Pepe
had to use
the mechanical mouth
which was part of his space suit
to fetch
the tasteless moonrocks,
so it took most
of the fun out of it
and soon Pepe was doggone bored.
Lupito and Griselda
bounced a hundred feet
into the airless air
as they headed
back inside.
Being kids
they were not
impressed at all
as the racist blue and white
ball of earth
slid silently into view.
Pepe tried his best
to mark his territory,
but only succeeded
in marking his space suit.

I have to say I've enjoyed these Mexicans-in-Space poems quite a bit but the image of a dog in a spacesuit playing catch is just wonderful.
Thanks,Jim.
