Er..., Yes..., The moon was booked to appear in this poem, But due to stress, And overwork, Countless appearances in sonnets and haiku, It's going to be difficult to express how much I like you. It's been holding its breath And turning blue, Once in a while Smiling for children. Styling the tide, Inspiring sex And suicide A backlog of allusions to deal with. Feelings to justify. It's done very well for a lump of white rock, With a peak time slot in the night sky, Sharing top billing with its straight man, the sun The best double act in kingdom not come Mystified And delighted With the interest shown By painters And writers And people alone. But at the last minute NASA phoned And bumped up the residuals, So your poem's been postponed, I'm sorry. |
