SPACE STATIONS

ttto "Master McGrath" with some slight modification

I remember back when we had Skylab above
We couldn't maintain it, so gave it a shove
Into the atmosphere, and here's the rub
We dropped it right onto Australia

A Soviet satellite orbited long
It stayed well powered, but it's orbit wasn't strong
So this nuclear power plant went somewhat wrong
And dropped down right onto Canada

And then we get to a station called Mir
That once again had Australians in fear
But it hit the right place and the Russians did cheer
As it dropped into the South Pacific

And when our current station, whatever its name
Is old and decrepit and grown halt and lame
Who then will be worried when we do it again
And it drops in on unwitting hosts
