speech earlier in the day, lending the wailing "The Spaceman's
Lament," an extra folk beat:

_"The captain spoke of stars and bars
Of far-off places like maybe Mars
But the slipsticks slip on this ship of ours--
And we'll get where I wasn't going!"_

Mike looked over at Millie as she drank her coffee, a slender, dark
figure--able with a soldering iron; able as a defending panther; able
as a spaceman's mate. He was glad the captain of the ship was a proper
marrying officer, for he had an idea the feeling he felt was mutual,
as he joined with the crew in the chorus:

_"There's a sky-trail leading from here to there
And another yonder showing--
But when we get to the end of the run
It'll be where I wasn't going...."_
