The space travelers
Riding yellow tricycles
Calm and composed
The wings steady
As they clutch their cameras tight
A few feathers fly
Here and there
But smart they were too
The feathers didn't distract the frame.
They know the art
The space travelers
Riding yellow tricycles
Through the asteroid belt
Punching the interfering rocks
And debris that play naughty
The GPS map correct
Destination Earth
Now in sight.
Rattle in their nerves
Hearts race excited
A much promised vacation
Welcoming them warmly
The space travelers
Riding yellow tricycles
Pedals rotating faster
Prepare to descend
On this new land.
