Howard Osborne Poet Verse

One Small Step

ONE SMALL STEP

Saw writing on the wall, I swear
There was a warning symbol there
Your trip in space, a bad affair

Short by one extra mile

We’ve come so far from planet Earth
Where of lithium there’s a dearth
Mining is more risk than its worth

Short by one extra mile

Due to land on this unique moon
I guess we did ignore that rune
We ran out of fuel just too soon

Short by one extra mile
