The First Moon Walk

Sophia Garbowski

That phallic rocket poised

Towards the moon

“Eagle” awaited a warm embrace

From atomic fuel for thrust and power

To send it out in space

Encased within two men or three

Collins, Armstrong and Aldrin

You’ll see space suits clumsily hide

These supermen who will take this ride

How far away it used to seem

To ever go there was just a dream

Among the stones and dust on the moon

How could lovers ever roam

We’ve sung our songs of June and moon

Now romance must take a trip

Encased in space suits in

This rocket ship

Eagles never cold dare

To follow Apollo there
