We’re 10cc’s of water and
although the Earth’s our base
we recently went travelling
up there – in outer space.
An astronaut had drunk us
just before his rocket ride.
And so we were the stowaways
that hid in his insides.
Meeting different molecules
we made a lot of friends.
With some we only mingled
while with others we held hands.
While staying in the astronaut
we all kept nice and warm
and floated round inside him and
explored his body’s form.
Eventually he moved us out.
So off we raced in glee.
With other friends I think we were
all classified as pee.
We found ourselves inside a box
with membrane walls all new.
Its holes were just the perfect size
for water to get through.
We said goodbye to all our friends
as they were far too fat
to wriggle through those membrane walls
and join us for a chat.
Now squeaky clean we hung around
inside some holding pen.
Until we found ourselves inside
the astronaut again!
