THE MAN IN THE MOON, AND OTHER LOVE SONGS


Long ago,
the man in the Moon loved a woman.
And they walked together over the
dusty plains.

When it rained,
(which it did then)
they sheltered in a lunar cave.
That was their happy home.

Time passed:
and the man grew restless.
Then, one dark day, looking up in the east,
he spotted Venus.

A year later,
he'd gone:
leaving the woman in the Moon
to her own devices.

Soon, the woman in the Moon,
danced to other love songs:
American soul records left
by her new Astronaut friends.

Now,
she rocks away her days,
to songs about love
and lost dreams.

While the man, she once loved,
sleeps on another planet,
with his Venus
in blue jeans...
