Hello 🙂
An astronaut
Fixed his collar
And promised his young son
Salt from his planetary adventures.
The boy
Pressed his toy grasshopper
Into his father’s hand
And said he hoped there was no crash.
These days
That alien salt
Sits in an airtight jar,
Twinkling its crystals on the mantelpiece.
The astronaut
Brought back many molecular mysteries
But did not fail
His starstruck son.
Dear reader,
You can decide whether this poem had a happy or sad ending.
When I googled ‘molecular mysteries’ this (and this) article came near the top. Did the astronaut’s time in space present him with more than he bargained for…?
