A Thunderous Message

Angry clouds were above Displaying hatred not love With an angry growl Came a heavenly howl There are energy impulses Crackling lights dished out in doses Joined the powerful teaming downpour Angels sending a message about this star gazing tour Two men scheduled to be shot in the air No return date set for the galactic dare It took a little time But the sun came out to shine A natural cosmic luring test Challenging earthlings wanted to leave their nest Launch countdown never stopped Plan continued from the pad lot After placing the pair in seated positions Patiently waiting for the ‘go’ decision Commanding lift starting the space station mission Clock under twenty Big business experimenting investing their money Word came to abort Due to the weather who was the true judicial court Safety concerns were the reasons Canceling the spectacle during Florida’s rainy season Temporary relieving the responsibilities for the dragon crew Delaying a dream ready to come true Mother Nature commanding man to be told “This adventurous travel must be put on hold! Until a new window open soon And then it can resume A space junket to the resort orbiting the moon” Man penciled in a date Saturday afternoon sounds great Still the meteorology influence will have the final say About sending this peaceful rocket on its way
