The Chocolate Chip Rocket Ship



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.
