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

The flowers know all!
Budding geniuses…
OMG
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.
