On the third day of Yule-tide my true love gave to me,
three UV-lights
And two microscope slide sets
To go in my science laboratory,
Tani undulated happily
Beside the incandescent plume
Of hot water
From Enceladus’ core
The heat seeping into her very bones
The nutrient rich waters
Soothing her skin
As she relaxed arm in arm with her love
Feeling little currents
Twirl off from the great plume
Bringing swirls of heat
Into the greater ocean.
Later they returned to her lab
To find three mysterious objects
On the central lab bench
Tani turned them on
And squealed in delight
For her friends had gifted her with
Three ultra-violet lights
With which to study
Things here on Enceladus
In preparation for the study
Of worlds beyond,
Furthermore, were two small boxes
Containing prepped microscope slides
To further her understanding
Of life on Enceladus.
