The Rocket

I'm
ready
for blast-off!
I’m ready to go! Up
through the clouds
in a fiery show.
I’m ready for lift-off,
for quitting the Earth,
for roaring and snorting
for all that I’m worth.
For it’s time for my
thunder, time for my
smoke, time to be rid
of Gravity’s yoke. Time
for my engines to
fill-up with flames.
Time to be wild, with
no pity or shame, ‘Cos
I’m going to be free
of the grip of the ground.
I’m going to be free!
I’m heavenward bound!
I’m built for adventure,
for discovering space.
I’m built to be rushing
all over the place.
I’m off now to Venus, and then
on to Mars. I’m taking-in Saturn.
The far-distant stars.
First stop the Moon! Then maybe the Sun!
I’m going right now! Are you in for some fun?
Well, sound-off my count. /// \\\ Then please get aboard!!!!
FIVE!!!!!!! /// \\\\ FOUR!!THREE!!
