Houston, We Have A Lollipop

Houston, We Have A Lollipop

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Candy sweet cosmic treat

"

Houston, We Have A Lollipop


Houston, we have a lollipop

Peppermint Patty is outside the airlock

The lemon drops are handy and dandy

Secure as Loony tunes on the moon

Tasty as caramel popcorn parties

The Eagle has landed

That's one small step for man

And one giant leap for candy kind

Be gentle to your rainbows and unicorns

Kiss my wife and kids good-bye

And billy goats too if you find them

Kiss your jellybeans twice if they collide

With cotton or chocolate meteorites

Ground control we're stepping outside

Tootsie rolls are calling us on

To sweet flavored carpet ride smiles

Colored in nature by bubble gum tides

Floating on sugar coated cosmic waves

Fluffy white bunnies circle in orbit

In powdered sweet dreams of delight

Be kind to your lambs if they land

Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy

Please, pretty please send some happy baked cheesecake

Whip up some hot fudge sundaes with a cherry on top

Houston, we have a problem

We need more lollipops soon or we will hold our breath

Turn blueberry blue forever

Or fall asleep, whichever comes first

Depending on the weather
