The
Clear-eyed
Lad gazed into
The nightime sky
Dreaming of his future as
An astronaut. He could al-
Most feel the tremors of the
Rocket motors getting ready
To punch a hole into the void
On the way to the Moon,or to
Jupiter, or anywhere off the
Surface of the Earth. In the
Background would be heard
The chant …
Eight, Seven,
Six, Five,
We have ignition,
Four, Three,
Two, One
Lift-off !
Go! Go!
Free!
Free! Free!
Free! Free!
Free! Free!
