Jay Haynes 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. =20 Best Regards to all, Steven Drummond =20 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 Alexander Seidel=20 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! - Marco Langbroek 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=B4s 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=B4t 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 =3D0) Rafael B. Torres 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??????? - j. murakami "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! :-) Serguei Vassiliev Prague 23.05.2002 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!=20 "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... =20 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!
