Record Time In Space

Yuri,

How Long was Your Time In Space,

How Far Did You Travel?

What Is the Odometer Like,

In Your Tin Can Above the Clouds.



I am sure you felt almost like a sardine,

And you were good enough to eat,

And you must have been quite a proud one at that,

To know,

That you’d broken a record,

In 1987.
