The Chocolate Chip Rocket Ship
(8/6/1986)
Come ride with me, says Joey Carr,
On a trip to see a neighboring star.
We'll ride upon my rocket ship,
Driven by the power of a chocolate
chip.
It is a cardboard box his father found,
And so far, it has never yet left the
ground.
But Joey plays in his rocket each day,
Taking voyages wherever his
imagination may.
Captain Carr boards the rocket loaded
with fuel,
Hands full of cookies against the
elements so cruel.
Three cookies for takeoff, another to
land,
One for cruising, and an emergency
cookie at hand.
Supplies are running low! Back to
Earth we go;
Into the kitchen for more fuel runs
Joe.
Replenished and resupplied, he takes
off again
To explore the universe as long as he
can.
