Wow — it is so hard to believe
that it’s finally time to leave
the spaceport
last night I nearly opted out
lying in bed thinking about
this spaceflight
I am nervous — I’m telling you
I fear at blast off I might poo
my spacesuit
but it’s damned cool that of this crew
I am the one who gets to do
the spacewalk
is this to me a dream come true
yes — if they keep me tethered to
the spacecraft
all this really is so very new
who’d a’though it’s Helianthus that knew
Im’a spaceman

Luv the twist at the final verse
A Happy and Blessed Sunday Rob
Much love
Just a touch of my insanity Gillena — much love my friend… 😉
Cryosleep dreaming? Remembering practice sessions? I’m curious what happens after the last verse and where the speaker comes to ground.
He becomes a florist Chrissa… 😉
Thanks for the smiles this Sunday morning Rob! Have a good week my friend!
Thank you Carrie! Good week to you too my friend… 😉
I hope the bowels behaved themselves!
Luckily Marion, the suits are designed to accommodate our humanity… 😉

This was fun to read, Rob. Made me smile. Thanks. I needed that.
Just a bit of absurdity Sherry… 🙂
Sunflowers see all, know all ….. they dance facing the sunlight, settle down as night falls .. amazing flowers.
Smart flowers Helen.
