I’ll send an s.o.s. to the world, I’ll send an s.o.s. to the world <br />I hope that someone gets my, I hope that someone gets my, <br /> I hope that someone gets my <br />Message in a bottle, yeah, Message in a bottle, yeah <br /> <br />It’s not about Sting sending out a S.O.S. distress signal, <br />Though Mary Ann, Gilligan’s Isle Alumni, could’ve sent one when she was busted, <br />It’s not a fictional movie romance that starred Kevin Costner and Robin Wright Penn. <br />But what it was when, <br />A school girl’s experiment 21 years ago, <br />That involved a message in a bottle that made to another persons reach. <br /> <br /> “About 21 years passed between the time Emily Hwaung put the message in a soda bottle and Merle Brandell picked it up on the beach.” <br /> <br />Time and distance didn’t affect the message inside, <br />Merle sent back the data required to the school. <br />I wonder Voyager will do the same, I wonder what the press would read like, <br /> <br /> “About 21 light-years passed between the time NASA put the message on the spacecraft, Voyager, and Aliens picked it up on their planet.” <br /> <br />It makes one wonder a bit. <br /> <br />(3-24-2008)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/message-in-a-bottle-19/
