[ WP ] Write a cosmic horror story in the style of Dr.Seuss

You may not have seen something like this 
 But I have, cause I ’ m an astronaut 
 And believe me for I rarely lie 
 Nothing else has left me quite distraught 
 
 In the sixth year of our voyage 
 In our ship sailing over the wide galaxy 
 We saw planets six or eight of them 
 Lifeless, dying, gripped in a strange palsy 
 
 What happened! we yelled 
 Are you alright! we shouted 
 We ’ re fine, we ’ re fine! the aliens said 
 We ’ re doing great without a doubt! 
 
 But they were dying, all gillions of them 
 Just sitting and smiling at the skies 
 Not moving to eat or drink or even rest 
 They sat and waited till they liquidized 
 
 We found their cameras on our own 
 And digging around we got to witness 
 A massive swarm of sentient insects 
 Descend from space to spread their sickness 
 
 That ’ s terrible! we cried 
 Our hearts were devoid of mirth 
 And then our blood it all ran cold 
 As we saw the insects head next to Earth
