If goes well, April 8th is going to be a historical mark in the human race, <br />(No, not me, though I was born on April 8th 1954) , <br />But on this day a South Korean astronaut, literally a Seoul Brother, <br />Ko San, <br />Will lift off from Russia with Kimchi; <br />He will go into the annals of space exploration. <br />I know what you're thinking, <br />-he is not physically lifting off, <br />and he is going to be in a SOYuz rocket. <br />However, the kimchi will be out of this world literally. <br />But before that there was only Tang, <br />freeze dried Ice Cream, <br />Which was not very creamy; <br />freeze dried MRE's, meals ready to eat, <br />But not Pickled Cabbage and garlic with flaked hot peppers, <br />Yum! Not, jeuk suk yum so bok um, (Korean goat stew) <br />(But I heard that the mature astronauts eat it for docking with their favorite space station) . <br />(see observation Lust in Space) <br />The kimchi had been treated for any problems that can develop in outer space, <br />Not inner space, <br />I hope that he takes BEANO. <br />Because the international space station is confined space, <br />Oh-oh trouble maybe lurking, beyond the event horizon. <br />If Ko Sun releases his gaseous nebula, then when his fellow astronauts survive, <br />His team will have boldly gone to no where man has gone before. <br /> <br />(2-27-2008)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-kimchi-is-out-of-this-world/
