Sleep well, little Philae You've fulfilled your destiny Four billion miles on the clock To do a science on a rock Your jump down from Rosetta was so good You jumped again and again Wee!
Low gravity!
But when you came to land It wasn't quite what ESA planned
Then you employed the best technology from 2004.
That didn't stop you getting all the data you came for.
Then the newsrooms of the BBC resounded with the echo of presenters rolling round the words.
Churyumov, Gerasimenko.
Nailed it.
We watched with rising horror as your batteries ran cold.
It turns out solar panels don't work so well down a hole.
The only true space cowboys are Jamiroquai and you and maybe Bruce Willis too.
I hope you'll wake up one day when the sun comes into view
So sleep well, my little philae, you've fulfilled your destiny.
You rocked that rock and that's how you roll on Comet 67P.
In January Professor Curtis Cooper found a number Not an ordinary number but a number that's humongous So I don't want your mulled pies and you can keep your minced wine Cos all I want for Christmas is the world's biggest prime

It's rarer than a cracker joke that actually makes you laugh As useless as a pair of roller skates for a giraffe If I had one I could do whatever I like with it
Anything I want, apart from dividing it, except by itself and one, is two to the power of five, seven, eight, eight, five, one, six, one, minus one.
