A Load of Moonshine

Is what lights this dreamscape scenario! It originated from a colourful painting by Marc Chagall, which Tess chose for her Mag 173 this week.
It put me in mind of something which has been in the news recently and,  putting all the facts together,  prompted me to write the following ditty...

I've been on that space station too long;
though I'm back on Earth, something's wrong,
because now I have found
that my feet leave the ground
each time that I burst into song.

    Have a great day

    Oh, this is brilliant! I remember literally listening to that song over and over again as a teenager, floating with Major Tom, blue becoming purple.

    Wonderful ... can't imagine what coming back to Earth feels like for those brave men and women. I'd burst into song too!

    That's a great limerick inspired by Chagall's picture.

    Fun and super well done, because I was hearing the words of this song in my head just reading your poem...before I even saw the video.
    Good job!

    =)
