"Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the Moon." — Paul Brandt
----- A Jinjagoliath poem: 10th December 2023 -----
Can we put a man on the moon? Just asking, hope not too soon.. We've built him a rocket In the shape of a bed With nice fluffy pillows For his white fluffy head Powered by electrickery With buttons and dials It's sure to be comfy For those final few miles Can we put a man on the moon? Not so gender exclusive It's just time is short And our volunteer effusive We have oxygen prepped With fire safety assessment All the food is prepared Every cover and vestment Has been guilded with love And we've washed up the dishes Now a hareem of beauty To attend to his wishes It's an easier challenge Than a rocket and booster If the attendees can wake up Without the aid of a rooster A launch date is looming So the countdown is clicking It's weather dependent And that red button keeps sticking Not the end of his journey But the start of another This spaceman is ready.. Leaving me and my brother Can we put a man on the moon? It's an easier ask But saying goodbye.. That's the heart-wrenching task
