Moonwalk Oops

 

Preamble

(This actually happened.  Someone somewhere along the line forgot to to flip the switch. Heard a whisper that Australian tracking station had something to do with it.  Of course, I don't believe a word of it....)

 

The world sat on edge watching telly

For Neil's one step/giant leap mankind

Handheld TV camera at ready

To broadcast event as unwinds

 

About to make leap for all mankind

“Hang on Neil a problem we got”

“Upside down picture here at Mission Control”

Quick flick up/down switch it did fix. What?

Putin already looks like he has been photographed the wrong way around even when the camera is the right way up! ? there was no need for all that surgery he's had.

Good golly gosh I hope they
Had camera right way up
We wouldn't want to see him drinking
From upside-downish teacup

Now would we?....?

Imagine the embarrassment
Putin red in face
Could not face his people
Gone upside down to space

I've never heard of infin space
I never studied 'infin'
I'll take your word Ruth it exists
(Is it to do with Rin Tin?...)

Tin?.....?

Coincidentally, the first Russian man to walk in space has just passed over to infinite space yesterday.
