PEAS IN SPACE
I think that I shall never see
A thing as lovely as a pea
A pea whose shell is green and bright
Having withstood the years of flight
A pea without flavor dried away
Despite sitting in the cargo bay
A pea that’s sturdy, firm and round
In which some vit’mins are still found
Piled en masse on my plate
Having cleared the take-off weight
Such dreams from only fools like me
Why can’t NASA make a pea?
