The Last Stanza
Destination
Descending from the sky
a drop of rain
asked the other:
Where
are
you
going
to
fall?
The other replied:
Wherever
may
we
fall,
in
the
ocean
we
shall
meet
after
all!

Loved both-- the poem and its parody, too (though the parody, i feel, misses the real point of the poem)!
Keep it up-- both the poet and the parodier!

in the ocean we shall meet after all...
but one fell into a mouth
that went towards the south
and became an astronaut
who flew into the space
and when he reached the space
he was all in daze
and decided,
that he would never
ever leave the place
and one day when he died
with a spacy wrinkled face
the raindrop was left floating
in the big bloody space
so you see
it sometimes depends where you fall,
for all raindrops don't meet after all
