Space is…

Longer than all the chewing gum that’s ever been made, stretched out in a single line

Taller than Earth’s entire giraffe population, stacked on top of one and other

Quieter than tomb of the the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, King Tutankhamun

More magical than the seven Harry Potter books added together

Full of virtually nothing but deep, dark black emptiness

But that’s why it’s called ‘space’ I guess

And I can’t wait to explore it in my rocket

5!...

4!...

3!...

2!...

1!...
