You’ve been up there long, oh great Tiangong,

Thy mighty metal chunk.

But your day is done, you’ve had your fun

Now see we only junk.

With telling force, you ran the course

Now all your fuel’s been guzzled

But where you want, to end your jaunt

Is leaving us quite puzzled.

You’ll burn up slow, and make a show

And leave us all in awe

But if your girth, should hit the earth

Well, that’s just Newton’s law.

If you come round, to smash the ground

I guess I shouldn’t grouse

Unless your flight, with all its might

Would put you at my house!
