Spaceship

I’m building a space ship to go to the moon
It’s taken me hours, it’ll be ready soon
I’ve been out collecting all manner of stuff
There seems to be loads but it’s never enough
There’s boxes and cartons and pieces of wood
Some string and some tubing are always quite good
I’m nailing and tying and sticking with glue
A quick coat of paint and I think that I’m through
Mission accomplished for take off I’m ready 
Engines are roaring I’m holding it steady
 I look through the window, gaze up at the stars
There’s plenty of food so, I might go to Mars
