I thought it was the
morning sun knifing golden
through some drowsy trees
nice try I thought
cold and still quite dark
a new moon had cleared
the eastern horizon
so it had some fun
why not it should
they all should
each one is an orbiting slave
to a bossy planet
chained to its gravity
swung around in an
endless boring loop
with no chance for freedom
so I say if one borrows
a little extra sunshine
one night as it rises
catches you off guard
and a bit confused
until you get the joke
show some appreciation
for the sense of humor
of a lonely old moon
sayYou got me!
