moon kissing

Posted on January 23, 2019 by

Written for:  The Twiglets #110 – “kiss the moon”

Instead of landing
on the moon,
give it a grateful
kiss as you spin by.

 

If you kiss
the moon,
it smiles crescent
at you.

“To the moon Alice,” threatened Ralph Kramden
I need that money for an invention I’m handlin’
Must have space on TV
My gadget will sell, you’ll see
Live on air, Ralph froze, stared. Gadget failed; Norton got dragged in.

    Anything moon related… sigh.
    Ah, yes Mr. Ralph – I think I remember watching that show at my grandparents home.
    In later years I likened the character to my Dad – perhaps they (both men) just tried too hard?
