Zany Zapper Zockke
by Jack Prelutsky
The greatest ace of video space
was zany Zapper Zockke,
for just a single quarter
he could play around the clock.
One day he played a fateful game
of SUPER SPACE SARDINES,
he loved to zap those fishy blips
to countless smithereens.
They stormed in strange formations
but he boldly beat them back,
with both his blasters blazing,
Zapper weathered each attack.
They employed bizarre maneuvers,
and they set uncanny traps,
yes they met disintegration
from his lightning counter-zaps.
His hands were swift, his aim was true,
his strategy was keen,
he faced those fish invaders,
and he blew them off the screen.
They seemed to swoop from nowhere,
but he calmly kept his wits,
and with sharp and deadly volleys,
Zapper shattered them to bits.
The machine began to sizzle
as the points began to mount,
he zapped so many space sardines
that even he lost count.
Then, in a flash, he vanished,
for he moved at such a pace,
that he spun into a time warp--
Zapper Zockke's in hyperspace!
