The Ballad of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The story starts like most, on planet earth
That's where Arthur, the main character is met
His house is going to be bulldozed
This causes him to be rather upset

He meets up with a good friend of his, Ford
Ford rushes him away and they prepare to part
From planet earth, which is going to blow up
They hitchhike with Vogons who have no heart

The Vogons eject them into space to die
Then they get picked up by The Heart of Gold
Where they meet Trillian and her two mice
Along with two-headed Zaphod who is bald

The ship has many interesting robots
A juice machine called the juice-o-matic
Marvin, a robot suffering from depression
The main computer who is always ecstatic

Together they discover a lost planet
A planet that turns out to be demanding
And sends missiles after The Heart of Gold
Which ends up sending their ship crash landing

They leave Arthur and Marvin and go search
They walk in a tunnel, shiny like a gem
The tunnel is suspiciously windy
Some guards try to apprehend them

Meanwhile Arthur and Marvin wander
They come upon a once missile now a whale
It crashed, went splat, now there's a hole with whale guts
They both look in, saw and Arthur turned pale

The three other travelers had now been caught
Arthur and Marvin are caught, all are reunited
The are brought before the mice who own the earth
The want for Arthur's brain turns into a fight

So the five run for the door in a hurry
And got back to the desolate surface
They went as fast as they could for their ship
Soon were flying through space, away from the mess

The ordeal was over and all were safe
Little did they know that more was to come
At the moment they had a bigger problem
Looking for a restaurant, so they could eat some
