Apollo 13

 

The Moon-landing was back in ‘70, 

Did I know what I was seeking?  I think not, 

There, in the mountains and craters outside, 

For I cannot leave Apollo’s sealed hatch. 

 

In cryogenic sleep through the deep years, 

Til a moon-unit came knocking where I sat. 

‘Would you like to play?’ then reached my ears, 

‘Our crater-brine will be a wine for two.’ 

  

So, bolt-upright I sat and perked my ears, 

And walked with joy into the land of tears.
