Lasers in Space!


Homophonic and not particularly serious.

"Mere" has the superlative form of "merest", but no comparative form.
I presume the comparative would then be "more mere," but that sounds awful.
Though ungrammatical, "merer" is understandable and works homophonically.


Lasers in Space!

All turn at
Alternate
Ways to mirror
Waste to merer
Appearances
Up here in sus-
-tained forces
Stained, forced us
To squint, essential
To quintessential
Laser's trick
Lays our strict
Decency aside
Raise the blasters up
Now it's time to die!
