Postcards from Space: “My Vacation,” a poem by Neil Armstrong

Nine summers ago, I went for a visit,

   To see if the moon was green cheese.

When we arrived, people on earth asked: “Is it?”

   We answered: “No cheese, no bees, no trees.”

There were rocks and hills and a remarkable view

   Of the beautiful earth that you know,

It’s a nice place to visit, and I’m certain that you

   will enjoy it when you go.

-from the children’s magazine Mini Page, 1978
