The Astronaut


I was the astronaut the world forgot about

Mission Control lost contact with me

As I travelled in the shadows on the dark side of the moon

They assumed that I had crashed and although a rescue craft was sent

It ran out of fuel and had to return to Earth

So that was that I was left alone on the moon

But I put my time to good use as you do not age here

And after a while and a few nosebleeds I figured out how to breathe in a vacuum

Which was quite easy if you had a good knowledge of fashions back on earth

I was a single chap when I flew on the mission but about five years ago

A passing spaceship crashed on the moon and I met Case who had originated

From Other Earth which is closer to the earth than the moon

But it remains unseen as people call it the sky which is totally incorrect

Well we struck it off straight away as she had an interest in Arts and Crafts movement

And thought it would be the next big thing on the high street

She designed the frocks and I designed the accessories

We hit the big time and nearly all of the major chains stocked our designs

This year I think that strawberry designs and prints will be in

And have visited Other Kent to firm up my thoughts

Case did not travel with me as she was otherwise engaged

As we now have a son and a daughter who we have named Dune and Dune

She hopes to be back quite soon and when she does return

 I will continue this mogg and I do like to keep in touch
