Space Center Silliness:
Houston's rockets, reaching high,
I took a tour, felt like I'd fly.
But then I tripped on astronaut gear,
And tumbled down with quite a cheer.
The guides just laughed and helped me stand,
In Houston, joy's at hand.
From NASA's might to city's light,
Houston's charm is out of sight.

Houston's BBQ, so rich and sweet,
I tried to eat, what a treat.
But then I spilled it on my lap,
And laughed so hard, gave a clap.
The pitmasters smiled and gave me more,
In Houston, joy's at the core.
