of life there was not a spark.
It will not make you swoon
the dark side of the Moon.
And all those grey rocks
did not knockoff our socks.
If China asked BBC Cyrmu
they could have done it in quarry.
An alien base or a Dalek or two
or anything really out of the blue.
But just rocks and space
this will leave not a trace
in the pages of history.
It's space Jim, but no story.
