Inktober – Day 16 – Rocket

I remember,

After a long day of volunteering

At a local non-profit’s auction,

That we found an old rocket kit.

You could take a toy rocket

And attach a fuse

And watch it sail upward.

I remember,

That we could not find a rocket,

So we looked through the leftovers

That hadn’t sold.

We found some old Barbies

With matted hair and torn up clothes.

And boy, could those dolls fly.
