Torrid Stellar Time

Gimme an extraordinary time, rather a bizarrity
Not some mundane affair, a task to be accomplished
I want a lunar stellar solar cosmic party
A coffee stained first hand print; unpolished
Of some great book, the oddest tale I'll ever know!
Colors off the margins, wild train off to the night!
Once in a century impromptu show
Private clandestine yet smothered in light
Even if it has to come chased after by a drunken ass shadow
Crooked, jagged, mad and awesome
Just like the lion sleeping inside the kitty-cat
Purring, roaring, feisty, fearsome
Just like a dragon grown from a meek little lizard
An unexpected, unprecedented Pow, Boom, Rad, Splat!
Gimme a hellraiser, worldstirrer, raging blizzard!
