Belewe moon (The betrayer)
Is it false to visit twice in one month,
or be the first, once in a lifetime?
Footsteps and memories are all that seem to remain.
You stood there, flew by and back in humility.
Your old friend the moon will be blue today;
hoping that you're once more in tranquillity.
Now you’ve finally returned to where you belong.
Did it really happen all that long time ago?
RIP Neil Alden Armstrong.

in memoriam, Neil Armstrong
Hey diddle diddle,
The man on the Eagle
Apollo shot up at the Moon.
A half pizza-pie
In a star-spangled sky,
And a wink in the gathering gloom.

A conspiracy theorist comments on reports of the death of Neil Armstrong
No need to mourn the moon man, folks:
it's just another NASA hoax.
