Laid-back in orbit, they found their minds.
They found their minds were very clean and clear.
Clear crystals in swarms outside were their fireflies and larks.
Larks they were in lift-off, swallows in soaring…

Good holidays need signature dishes, so here's a list of suitable food for a Moon Landing Smorgasboard. Feel free to add dishes in replies, I feel like we need more!

•pancakes, especially saffron pancakes (comparing the moon to a pancake is sometimes done in Sweden)
•cheese wheels
•moon pies
•bananas (looks like half moons)
•croissants
