A what if lunar scenario.

Supposing the moon got the hiccoughs and started to quivver and quake.
Sailors would have no idea what  proper tide they should take.
Farmers who plant by the light or the dark would mess up their gardens for sure
And lovers who spoon by the  light of the moon would find their courtship impure.
Astronomers would have many problems moving their lens west and east
And what of the poor werewolf who wouldn’t know when to be man or beast?
We would have to send up a shuttle and tell a spaceman what to do–
Sneak up behind Mr. Moon real quiet like and in a loud voice holler “BOO.”

    The cow that jumped over the moon on a regular basis lost focus, went beserk.Your forecast prevented it from falling on me and having me flattened permanently.

  • Nadine Simone Millard on Dec 27, 2009

    What an unusual line of thought. Are you on acid, or are you a moon child? A moon child rules the tides, is hard to catch, will never be tied down, and is gifted with an ethereal beauty1
