Articulating the Vision: Limericks

There once was the program Constellation

Which was fettered with much consternation

Though considered a boon

For a ride to the moon

It ultimately died of starvation

 

 

When I think of going to Orbit

I want to no if, and, or but

Yet knowing the cost,

It seems all hope is lost,

Until I remember Tom Corbett*

 

* Tom Corbett: Space Cadet

 

 

Don’t be sad if you’ve been a good civil servant,

And you’ve only your blog on which to rant,

Though there’s coming and going

And no real knowledge or knowing,

The pension plan is still not quite full-spent

 

 

About these events you may be bumming,

And the mood may indeed be quite glumming,

But just remember my friend,

Though seeming close to the end,

The next program’s sure to be coming

There once was a ship Constellation
whose flaws were known through the nation
she would rattle and shake
but it's the money she would take
that would keep her from her destination
