Loading the car with excitement and dreams
Starmaps and 'scope and some snacks for the trip,
Grabbing the Map, Not taking a nap,
keep driving towards that sky that's so black,
Praying those clouds will clear in time,
Knowing the night will be quite sublime,
So I make up a song about Planets and Moon
and hope I arrive at the dark site real soon,
Arrive at the site and not a cloud in sight,
The seeing is a nine, the night is mine,
A buzz of excitement in the sky to explore,
Armed with maps and software you can't ignore,
High hopes to see the dawn sky feast,
A fine conjunction awaits me at least,
Alas it's bitterly cold and my teeth they chatter,
So I find me a blanket and on me I scatter,
All my delightful toys and imaging matter,
The Planets were so bright in the early morning light
as the dawn broke into bright sunlight,
I will never forget such a wonderfull sight.
But then I jumped up with a hell of a fright
As the bloke next to me, he turned on the light
I yelled at him come on, give me a break
Be he just smiled, and said, go bake a cake
So I told him to go coz there's kids at his scope
playing and fiddling and having a grope,
That made him run faster than the Olympian 'Amra'
and once he was gone I put in my camera,
