Flight to Mars

Михаил Солдатов
Несколько дней назад родился стих на русском языке,
http://stihi.ru/2019/05/03/3385

а сегодня он как-то внезапно перевелся на английский...

Слава Богу, успел записать!
:)

Fellows, it's not joke.
Girls, it is not farce.
After lunch, tomorrow,
I will fly to Mars.

You can ask - what reason
is to go there?
I will proudly answer:
"Country's glory dare!"

Following great Pushkin,
Gagarin and Titov,
Let my humble name
Be written in the row.

For the flight good finish,
For the trip success
I would fill the rocket...
Who can give five pence?
