well, they said they found it
24 gallons in a crater
somebody could take a bath there
somebody probably will
there’s excitement
there’s dismay
water, water everywhere
but no funding
isn’t that always the case
first things first: EARTH
can’t take a step here (giant or otherwise)
without poverty or peril
(“micro loans before millions”
the bible says)
the moon isn’t going anywhere
but this planet is
we’re flush with “can-do”
crashed a satellite
into the lunar surface
created a 60 foot pit
and got a bucket of ice
does that sound like a winning formula
