Oh To Visit the Moon.

So I began my dayfeeling rather gay and like my life was full of potential. So set out on a journey filled with lots of exciting adventures. I snatched the giant paper from the table along with a purple ruler and I conjourded up a plan for my grand adventure. This adventure is huge like nothing before and I fear the consequences of messing up my plans for my expensive rocketship. Yes I said a rocketship that is my grand adventure to go to the moon and meet the people. I hear stories of these folk and I am rather intreged and that is why i find the cardboard box big enough to hide my dreams and carry out my schemes. To some it seems rather silly but you can call me Billy, Billy the astronaut is what they will call me. I grab my crayons and make my knobs and the gages under the window. I run into the house and crab the glue so my rocketship can hold the gas that will take me to the moon. I put my helmet on and i open up the door. To some this may just be a flap but to me it holds the key. The key to a new and unfamiliar place one that I will explore. Once i tune into the captain he gives me the go. He counts down from ten and the adventure begins. Once he says that magic word my rocketship takes off. I soar into the sky way up high and i way good bye to my mommy and cry just a little tear. I fear that these people might find my coulture so unique. Find me rather odd and attach tubes to both my feet. They will read my mind and find my rocketship is small, they send me home with a boy name Joe and off to my house we go. Once we arrive it all is very clear "Billy the Astronaut" they cry "you have come back alive!" I scream "I am not alone this is my new friend Joe! Joe is from the moon you see and has come to teach us things. Things that will save our world lets all greet him with peace!" They all smile and greet my new friend. My rocketship has been lots of fun and now i have come to know, just how much fun one Can have when he thinks of fun. My rocketship is in my room awaiting its next trip. I love my rocketship you see so next we'll go to Mars and Ill bring my friends the stars. The stars from mars my rocketship will make this possible. So I smile happily For I am Billy the Astronaut and the people all love me.
