because the astronauts were Protestant
they read the Bible from the moon
astounding and delighting every Christian
and on their return Pope Paul VI gave them his blessing.

Apollo 9 cost more than all these put together
including Apollo 1 which cost plenty.

The great-grandparents of the people of Acahaulinca were
less hungry than the grandparents

The grandparents of the people of Acahaulinca were less
hungry than the parents.

The parents of the people of Acahaulinca were less hungry
than the children of the people there.

The people of Acahaulinca are less hungry than the children
of the people there,
The children of the people of Acahaulinca, because of hunger,
are not born, they hunger to be born,
only to die of hunger.

Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the moon.
