Poem
Whilst sitting on the Launch Pad They await the final countdown Their rocket – called TAKE 5, begins to shudder The Captain is well known, and called BUTTERFINGER Boris The other crew are MIKE and IKE and a female they call Doris Rising with a roar like thunder The MILKY WAY GALAXY to their left Igniting like a Rocket at a Guy Fawkes celebration They travel through the atmospheres and up into the stratospheres The crew men on the Mother ship are called THREE MUSKETEERS As they approach the Harvest Moon A wondrous sight for all to see The ship positions carefully, preparing to touch down The Moon looks like a Christmas bauble dangling from the skies Such a WHOOPER – it’s humongous, they really can’t believe their eyes Landing with a bump and beginning to alight They step upon this waterless and dusty satellite There are SNO- CAPS for to climb, with such a steep incline Great MOUNDS of debris all around that block their route ahead But truthfully the crew would like to be at home, instead As they explore the Moon once more They stumble upon a strange creature A little Green Man, who is very obese Announcing himself with a sweeping bow, as Mr WATCHAMACALLIT He’s training to run a Moon MARATHON, but he needs to get fitter to win it The crew they finished all their chores Boarding the Mother Ship they fasten her doors Lift off is smooth, as they drift and float, gliding back into space But hearing a strange voice nearby, whispering "Are those goodies for me" They discover Mr W, on bended knees, embarking on a chocolate SPREE But how on earth did he climb aboard, this CHUNKY little man The crew in such a quandary and not knowing what to do Should they turn back NOW AND LATER tell the reasons why Or continue on their journey home, they did not want to die Let’s take him home, cried Doris, he can live with me, I like his smile But the twinkle in her eyes became a tear upon her cheek She was lonely and emotional as she began to speak She had fallen for the Moon Man in amongst the ballyhoo Back home now and in wedded bliss, living on 5th AVENUE How Sweet it is Competition, Sponsor Carol Connell, written on 29.09.18 Contest Brian's Choice D Sponsor Brian Strand
