My Spaceship " New Horizons "

I remember one day When i was young To fly into space As earths atmosphere's sprung I have thought and thought Of what it would be like To build a spaceship And finally take flight Where would i start And how would it look Materials i would use To be built by the book Design is important Although no drag would be there A crew it would carry To take us out there Now let me think Where do i start Think like Noah When he built the Ark Strength is important So it will be carbon fibre With reinforced Aluminium Lighter, but harder When moulded and crafted It will be delta winged Fusion driven This spaceship will bring At Hypersonic speed It's delta wings close When it hits Mach 8 It's speed and elegance shows It's mainframe computers Will be IBM Emblazoned on it's fuselage The logo of them My spaceship will carry A crew of twelve Disciples we will be For out in space we will delve How to build a spaceship Thank you for reading the above For it's journey will be Earths futures peaceful white dove My entry into Matt Caliri's contest " How to Build a Spaceship " http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/poetry-soup-4.php

Wild tall tale again that you have told in this one. However anything is possible. Someone is building a space motel where one can see 13 sunrises a day. It will only cost 45 million to go and stay one night (I heard this on tv). Keep the magical and creative pen flowing. I like the Noah's Ark and the touch of the 12 disciples but with you that would be 13. Sara

"Terry, should I tell him?". "What?" "About our plan." "I don't care. All he'll do is laugh." " Hey John, when we grow up. Terry and I are going to build an X Wing Fighter." "What." "You heard me. Me and Terry are going to build and X Wing Fighter." I just busted out in laughter and could'nt stop laughing at my little brother and his friends plan. jhl
