Nerveless Neil

A man from Ohio called Neil *
Was known for his calm nerves of steel.
So when, out in space,
Darth Vader gave chase,
He said 'Cool it, guys,no big deal!'


18.07.19

* Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio and was renowned for keeping cool under pressure.
* Darth Vader for non Star Wars fans is an iconic villain

Thank you, Line. It is still amazing, looking up at the moon at night to imagine man looking back down.

I didn't quite see it that way, but it's certainly good to look back in admiration at their amazing feat.
