The Space Child's Mother Goose
The Space Child's Mother Goose
Little Jack Horner
Little Jack HornerSits in a corner
Extracting cube roots to infinity,
An assignment for boys
That will minimize noise
And produce a more peaceful vicinity.
Originally published the year before sputnik was launched, I find it oddly reassuring that this very strange and wonderful book by Frederick Winsor and illustrated by Marian Parry is still in print.
You can read a few more of these pre-space age rhymes for future space children here and here.
