Moon's Day Out
Yesterday was,
I freely admit,
one of the most
fulfilling days
of my existence.
I had tons of fun
in front of the Sun
For four blessed minutes
I took center stage
blocking that gas balls
braggadocious rays.
Granted, without his
warmth and light
would no living
organism survive.
But, hey, I'm important too
Am I not the prince tides?
Could you see
the birds go crazy
and the humans shout
when I blocked the big guy out?
Man I felt such happiness
blanketing the
world in darkness.
I rank as highly as the other
named planets
Because I'm
The Moon, darn it
Okay, the Earth's Moon darn it.

Dear GW,
Clever perspective. The moon as the bad guy. The dark horse. But it got its day. It showed us who’s boss. Kind of glad all the hoopla about this is over. Also, glad I got to see it. I enjoyed this piece to bits. H🌷
