The Jack Parsons’ Project~

Inspired by a dream
A boy, a small boy
With BIG comic book ideas
Blasting through the ether
18 minutes long
1902 release
A vision upon celluloid
A Trip to the Moon
Ignites
A child’s mind a flame
Into a Raging fire
Impossible
To
Extinguish
Big Bombs, Blast, Bang, Boom
And rockets try to take off
Vrooooom!!!
To them
He is
A joke to science
A loose cannon
On the campus
At Caltech

J ust
P laying
L loudly

He’d laugh back

He pushes a button
And the gunpowder wick
Glows red, and sizzles
Slinking like snake
50 yards in length
Along the loose
Dust covered
Ground
To
A
Powder keg
Set to Blow
A Mile
HIGH
In the
SKY
…….

Camping in the desert
With tents and nitroglycerin
106-degree weather
Keeps you motivated
When the “Yes Men”
Say “No”…

They’d watch
From Up top the hill
At a safe distance
These Alphabet Agents
Making sure
There was no
Funny stuff
Going On
Or sharing intel
With the Reds

3,2,1 lift off
Get off
Spoken words
In rhythmic
MagicKal
Intent
She was
Sent
The Scarlet Woman
The Muse
Of divine glory

Well done Jack….
We won the war
We made it to the moon
And
Your dream woman
Came true
