Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 The First One

I'm the flag of the U.S.A.,

One of billions made over time.

But I'm first on unique display.

The year 1969, I'm

Taken on an historic trip

Where no one like me'd gone before.

From a Sears store to a space ship,

A three by five foot flag to soar

Far into the heavens from Earth.

Costing five dollars, fifty cents,

My value went to priceless worth

When left by Neil and Buzz, nice gents.

Time and place for me opportune,

I'm first of my kind on the moon.
