Written at one of those times when Congressional budget cuts had resulted in program cancelations and layoffs at NASA centers and JPL. This was the time my own job did not survive.
Fly me to the Moon
To search for worlds of other stars.
Let me see if life exists
On Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, fund my work.
In other words, maybe pay me.
Fill my rover’s sample tubes
With soil and rock cores.
This is what I worked for,
What we started to explore.
In other words, don’t stop here.
In other words, persevere.
Fly these back from Mars;
Don't leave them here forevermore.
Send a helicopter
If the rover dies before.
In other words, plan ahead.
In other words,
In other words,
Spend more bread.
