Space : 1969

My brother blasted off into space,

you really should have seen his face.

His model rocket from a jumble sale, 

flying around, as blown by a gale.

This was back in 'sixty nine, 

Apollo missions, an historic time.

His plastic rocket it was melted,

by lighter's flame, oh yes, he felt it.

My brother never really blasted, 

just did what folk in his class did.

He was just five, then, just a kid, 

But that's the story of what he did!
