Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Mission Possible

The U.S.A. decided to

Send a team to the moon so that

Current powers that be could do,

With permanent base habitat,

A claim of moon for U.S.A.

So we landed successfully,

And set up for a lengthy stay.

Three other astronauts and me,

We've been here now a month or so.

And then did come this fateful day.

Flashes of light on Earth did show.

The four of us began to pray.

Houston, we have a problem, yup,

We're watching you and Earth blow up.
