HITCH A RIDE ON A SHOOTING STAR

I'd like to hitch a ride
On the tail of a shooting star
To see the sights of the Universe
A voyage so vast and far!

Just imagine all the fun I'd have
Traveling from Neptune to Mars
Flying thru the Solar System
Visiting all those stars!

I'd blow a kiss to the man in the Moon
Is that a grin on his face?
Wave goodbye to planet Earth
As I zip out into space

I'd flirt with Venus
Give her a playful wink
Mercury is the hot one
Too close to the Sun I think

Orbit the Red Planet
We all know as Mars
No little green men there
Just a few roving cars

I'd jump over Jupiter
Take a swing on Saturn's rings
Spin around Uranus
See what Neptune brings

Hover over Pluto
Ask him to play
Watch a SuperNova
Then be on my way

Say goodnight to the Milky Way
Catch a ride on Solar Winds
Aurora Borealis to guide me
Back to Earth where my journey begins

This is wonderful and would make a great children's book. I'd buy it for sure!

Thanks Alison, that's not a bad idea!
I already have one childrens book out called "Firefly Lullaby" which began as a poem here at PIP. It should be availble at Amazon soon. If not yet, then at Xlibris.com for anyone who would like to check it out.

What a wonderful journey you took us on, and I agree with Alison, it could be turned into a children's book.

I went diving for a moment and I am so glad I did, as I found this enthralling and joyous poem that is totally after my adventurous heart.

Wonderful job! One day it will be possible, I have not the slightest doubt. We are bound to pierce the existing boundaries ...

Very inspiring.
