A Vacation To the Moon

A Vacation to the Moon

By Elton Camp

Those who, about such, seem to know
Say one day to the moon tourists may go.
Such excursions may commence
When enough will pay the expense.

Some people I am sure will love to try
To escape this planet and fly that high,
I’d prefer on earth to travel around
A whole lot closer to the ground.

According to what I’ve been told,
The moon is gray, dusty and cold.
I can’t even walk around up there.
Why, that place has not got any air.

The interesting thing I might like best
Wonderful sight, making up for the rest
One-sixth my weight on earth I’d be
That scale reading I would love to see.

And when the man on the moon I see again, I will say, Elton, there goes thee.
