Rocket Science

Orbiting earth at a ludicrous pace No gravity: stuff flys all over the place A notebook floats by, would it not be great If we could have brought even one paperweight

Yeah, he’s just testing ‘gravity free paperweights’. I know he’s got a factory already making them. My mate got a job there but he couldn’t hold it down. ;-) Terry

Glad you ‘got it’ Ilene. Thought longer about the title than the poem itself. Once I got ‘Rocket Science’ it just had to be. Terry

Another good one. I have always wondered what is so terrific about everything floating around you? Like how do you drink your coffee?...as it floats by?

Coffee? Easy you keep a tea strainer handy. It doesn’t catch the coffee but it filters it just nicely. Terry

Hope the toilet has got good suction, if the pump fails they're in the crap. Lol Tom

Don’t let on, but I’m waiting for someone to miss the gag and explain in some depth why they don’t take paperweights up there. ;-) Terry
