Fifty years ago, Neil Armstrong
Walked upon on the moon,
An act unparalleled which caused
All 'round the world to swoon.
Yet memory's a funny thing,
'Cause in my brain, like glue,
More than that was John Glenn
Splashing down in 1962.
They called all classes down to watch,
On stage, on a TV;
To us, it was the most exciting
Thing we'd ever see.
It set the bar for future feats,
(But seven earth years sooner)
Yet that's the one I treasure
More than triumphs strictly lunar.
