NOT AN ASTRONAUT
I could not be an astronaut
No matter how I'd like to;
I'm more adept at diddlysquat,
And places I can hike to.
Aboard the shuttle I would freak
Just thinking I could die there.
I'd really have to hugely tweak
A job where I just lie there
Looking out the window at
The earth so far below me,
Hoping that I don't go splat
If parachutes won't slow me.
