You'Re In (Urine In) Deep Space Poem by Joe Rosochacki

A bunch of things happened at the International Space Station,
Before I wrote about the plugged up toilet in an earlier observation.
When I was meandering my way through the job market in Florida,
I happened to be involved with Ionics.
It was water purification treatment, it was tremendous,
It was company, a subsidiary of GE,
However it was not about electronics.
Gandhi could’ve used this water purification system when he drank his own urine.
That is what the astronauts will be doing once their urine is turned into pure water.
No tricks,
Involved.
Their sweat as well will be turned into 100% H2O, so much for Gatorade.
One of astronauts let her $100,000.00 tool bag go on without her.
Some 2010 Space Odyssey, instead of phasers, high energy particle tools, x-rays,
Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov would have bragged,
But contained much primitive tools than that,
In some kind of orbit the tool bag will always lag,

The tool bag weighs about 30 pounds and is 20 inches wide, about a foot tall and a hand's-width deep, according to John Ray, STS-126 lead spacewalk officer for the flight. The bag contained two grease guns, a scraper tool, a large trash bag and a small debris bag.
