A desert hangar, called Eighteen, contains a full film set,
where government performed the most outrageous hoax to date;
conspiring to decult perhaps the biggest secret yet—
they faked the lunar landing. True, I heard it from my mate!
Now, Roswell hides another truth the public cannot know,
those stories of balloons and weather instruments are bunk.
Crash-landing UFOs were found there in New Mexico,
the buildings there are metres deep in bodies and space junk.
To travel many trillion miles, across the universe,
is quite an engineering feat, one we can't undertake.
To future visitors, this warning, simple and quite terse:
for goodness' sake, before you leave, you'd better check the brake!

Author Notes
Today's word: decult (v.) to hide something; to keep something secret.
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
