Bensour the new meteorite
No friend I did not say leaverite
With it's beautiful black crust
If you dont have any it's a must
Being fresh from the sands
Directly to your hands
And an excellant selection
To any collection.

I am Bensour , Bensour I am.
I landed in Bensour And not in Siam.
I fell from the sky with a thunderous crack
So beautiful And pristine with fusion crust so black.
Poked and prodded I would soon be.
As classification has started on me.
I turned out to be a very nice LL .
For dealers and collectors to study and sell.
So I am Bensour , Bensour I am.
I do not like the hot desert sand.
I do not like hitting rocks as I land
And I hope to be sitting soon in your hand.  
                Best Regards to all,    Steven Drummond   
 
 
Got a BENSOUR on my table,
  freshly fallen, pretty stable.
  What a beauty with black crust,
  W0 state, no stains of rust

  What now would be really nice
  were a little BENSOUR slice.
  Cut with alc, and dried with care

Bensour, Bensour!
>From Le cosmic Chef, La meteorite du Jour !

The freshest dish you’ve ever seen
A more delicious there has never been
Really a dish fitting King or Queen

The ingredient harvested while still young
Don’t let it ly around too long
Don’t even think of it – it might go wrong

Because any water will do it harm
After which the dish will loose it’s charm
So have this spice while it is still warm

Serve it with a fitting reverence
For these precious stones have special elegance
And of course, a certain relevance

But please now – please enjoy your meal
Prepared for you with a special zeal
Le Chef has made you a fantastic deal!

Bensour, Bensour
    you say monsieur?
Entering throught the atmosphere
    what did that camel herder hear?
Nice and black and oh so crusty
    carefully cut it, it gets rusty
Such a nice brecciation
    how I love this avocation
Over land and over sea
    this cosmic visitor came to me
Unless I talk like the good doctor
    how much will I have to proffer?
Rhymes are fun now Mr. Bostick
    but did notice my acrostic?

Best regards to all,
Phil Morgan
 

  Where´s the expert to prepare?

  Fate and luck please let it be:
  next one falls in Germany
  And ... for the locality:
  right onto my balcony!


Don´t take toooo seriously... :-)
good night listees,
Alex
Berlin/Germany

 
To Bensour:

Fresh, fresh, new African Bensour,
What a chance to get Bensour,
Where have you gone?,
What have you visited?,
Only you can tell me that one.

Why have you decided
To land in Morocco and not in my yard?
Through the atmosphere you’ve burned
But again why not in my yard?

That beautiful black fusion crust
Something like it I’ve never seen
You are in a collection a must
What things have you seen?
But Someday I will see what you saw...


How's that?...ooooops =0)

DAG 262/400


My moon glowed soft yellow

     in the quiet of that night,

I yearn to touch her face

     to at least know my embrace

But in the airless moonscape,

     mares dark, highlands light,

My ten-year old self did squint to see

      no clouds or dust,

      a stone-cold world

      through this telescopic sight.


A flash of light!..., maybe  two or even three,

   (some play on my memory's misery??)

   Some dust, some haziness,

                               a puff of debris??

I witnessed some life on this cold-hearted orb??

Brings wild dreams of moon meteorites

       To rain on my roof,

       what imagined true delight!


Years later I see my tektites and learn

        How some did once yearn

        To believe these glass pieces

                           were tears of my moon..

         I caress their belief

                 then dismiss their hard wishes

         In favor of my own wishes

                 for Apollo dust,

                 or even just Russian Luna rust.

The day did finally at long last arrive

      as chips and specks of DAGs did beckon

      to awake the desire and the fire

                              for me alone to reckon.

Now I sit quite broken of funds,

        but I have my speck of moon in hand,

       Even while I hope a larger chunk to land,

       So I neednt squint so hard

       through my microscopic sight!

How to embrace a grain of sand???????

 "But Someday I will see what you saw..."

You will see it one day, Rafael,
You will come to the point - you will!
Doesn't matter: Morocco or Israel-
Just get ready to pay for your bill!

Nicely crusted and good advertised -
"Bensoure" was appeared - for sale!
If your yard will be dry for a WHILE
You will have a "FRESH FALL" in one day! :-)

BENSOUR

One Rock

     Two Rock

Black rock

     Smooth rock

This one was a shooting star

     This one hit somebody's car

Say! what a lot of rocks there are!

    Most are crusty. And all are new.

Gathered by schoolkids for me and you

     Black on the outside

whiteside in

    looks a little like lunar

though there it's never been

     Only Berbers and the Army can

still gather Bensour from the desert sand



Guy Seligman

Thanks for the chance.


The   Visitor

One dark and dreary night,
I was in my study eyeing gads of meteorites to my delight
When all of a sudden I heard a thud --- or was it a knock?
Whatever it was, I must say it gave me quite a shock!

Through the front door's rusty keyhole did I peek
Only to see nothing but hear a creak.
I unlatched the door and stepped into the gloom;
No meteorite on my porch!  Nothing!  (as far as I could assume)

Suddenly, there appeared a plump little man in a derby hat.
He paraded, he yodeled --- and to think, all on my welcome mat!
"How do you do?  I am McGoodygoo the meteorite goo-roo!" he sang as he said.
>From that moment on I knew there was something to dread.

In his hand he showed me a black little rock;
It was Bensour, the new fall that has been causing people to flock.
"My good man," he said. "Take it, as you can see it is some sight!
For if you don't, I doubt my conscious will let me sleep tonight!"

I retorted in a voice so full of blame,
"It is just an NWA with a name!"
I must admit, I really did not know what to do;
I ended up telling that funny little man to shoo.

But that didn't deter him, not to the smallest degree!
"This little rock is as fresh as can be !" said he.
I defended my Peekskill and Rose City as being just as good;
I thought by now he would leave, at least I thought he would.

But he continued, "Your mind is too much on locations and numbers.
Will you accept my Bensour with a pail of meteoritically grown cucumbers?"
"Thank you, but I am quite fed." I uneasily said.
"It is late and I am now off to bed!"

Oh, but he would hear nothing of that,
He would rather just sit and chat.
"How about on a bus headed for Tucson
Holding a stop sign icon?"

Finally, my mind began to twirl,
My patience started to whirl,
"Okay!  Okay!  I'll take the stuff!
Give me the rock Mr. McGoodygoo, please do!  I have had quite enough!"

I took the piece of the asteroid into my hands
and stared at it, that pebble from unknown lands.
For a moment I thought its glassy crust gleamed,
As so it seemed...
  
Well, all I can say now after that fretful ordeal,
After experiencing such meteoritical zeal,
Is that if you are ever introduced to a Mr. McGoodyGoo,
Be sure to accept his piece of Bensour, please do!
