I tried to write something serious and mystical, and it wasn't working. So instead of sweetbread, you get Jell-O!

The Visitor

While swimming in the sea one day,
I chanced upon a spotted ray.
He swam across the sandy bottom
Like a leaf adrift in Autumn.

"Hello," I said, "And how do you fare?"
He gazed at me with piercing stare.
"I've been by Venus just last night,
And sailed here on the morning light.

"Tomorrow I'll fly in Jupiter's ocean
To meet my wife." Then with swift motion,
He left me wondering by the bar,
His speckled back stained with stars.
