Memorial Day weekend launching model rockets in the park
My daughter’s counting down from ten to begin the start
Of an ignition sequence ending with a push of a button
Hours spent glueing and assembling a machine from barely nothing
A C6-5 engine and cardboard flying 250 mph up toward the sky
Practical engineering with answers to why
And how and what makes things work
Power at the push of a button with a smirk
A 9 year old with dreams of one day flying to Mars
Has already reached the sky’s limit, next its the stars!
