[Suzy]

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,

Now with him gone it was once again dark
Our camp site was chilly but the stars they did spark,
It was so cold my telescope froze
And even drips of water fell off a my nose,

But i fought back the cold, with the warmth of my heart,
'coz that first glimpse of Saturn, cannot be my last.

I braved the frost as I ran over to RobF,
He yelled at me to stop but I must be going deaf.
Dodging a cane toad I tripped and went eeeeow,
My cheek on top of it made me want to spew.
So all of Rob's imaging leads came quickly undone,
He'll never talk to me again I know- I ruined his M101.
