—-<§>—
my lunar laundry lander tumbles clean
through suds of silvery rainbow sheen
its a cool machine — blasts off in june
spin-cycle rockets it to the moon
buttons chatter — bubbles balloon
soap-clouds a’poppin’ — launchin’ soon
rinse— repeat — up’n round it’ll go
its a galactic cosmic laundry show
now you just might think me daft
but this is a most splendiferous craft
even when I’m way-way far out there
a rocket man still needs — clean underwear

Great Rob – celebrating creativity – I love the blend of fantasy and humour, embracing the joy of the mundane? and Elton is a great choice ?
Thank you Ange… 😉
LOL! I was not expecting your twist, Rob. But of course he does 🙂 Love your crafty craft.
Thanks Lisa — and a pair of clean underwear I am certain would be most welcomed by an astronaut — those space capsules are cramped close quarters… 😉
You are most welcome 🙂
😉
OH Man …. what a hilarious, creative, brilliant bit of poetry!!!! Something every spacecraft needs, to be left on the moon’s surface for future astronauts maybe?????
Thank you Helen. As long as there an interstellar commode patrol… 😉
haha – This made me smile and smiles go miles. Love the creativity in this one.
Thank you True… 😉
I don’t know how ANYthing works, but I dig watchin them do their thing, just like I like watchin you do yours.
I dig watching you do yours
and I’m glad you’ve got clean drawers
Thanks for the share!
Clean drawers make me a happy camper Ron… ‘;)
I love it Rob. This one made me smile!!
You still got it! :>)
Thank you Dwight — this onevwas fun! 😉
That’s such a fun twist on the prompt, Rob, and great use of alliteration, rhyme and onomatopoeia! It also made me think of Hawkwind’s ‘Silver Machine’. I especially love the phrase ‘spin-cycle rockets it to the moon’ which sounds like my washing machine’s noisy spin cycle. I enjoyed your ‘galactic cosmic laundry show’.
It was a blast to write Kim! 😉
This is such a fun read.
😉
Some crafts are better left to the machine
😉
Very fun and creative Rob ?
Thank you Shaun… 🙂
Earth to Rob …. I love this! ????
🙂
I enjoyed your galactic cosmic laundry show, Rob. Laundry is something that’s never finished in this house.
Like raking leaves in September… 🙂
