ROUNDUP
*******

She was magnificent.  A patrol spotted her in sigma quadrant,
so I decided to suit up and have a look.  She was silvery-white
with red boosters and a streamlined shape, displacing eight
hundred tonnes if she was a cubic inch.  I had to have her.

My boys tried to hold her with tractor beams, but she was too
big and too fast.  Eventually we lured her into a stasis field
and towed her home, amid microwave screams of rage.

She's too spirited to ride; she'll swallow the fool who gets
close.

Once broken, though, she'll take me to the stars.
