Fly to the Moon
You can’t reach the moon on a broom
Despite what those witches say
And your phone can’t take pictures
Of a million miles away
But master your maths and your English
Or become a science ace
You can build yourself a rocket
And fly yourself to space
If it’s made to travel the distance
Fast and strong, yet light
You might be the next generation
To visit earth’s satellite
Years have elapsed since those men
Stepped onto its surface and said
A giant leap for mankind
As they left behind their tread
Be bold and aim for the stars
Take risks, try hard; and soon
You could be making a trip
To the sphere they call the moon
