How I Travel To the Moon

How I Travel to the Moon As I sleep, I travel to the moon Do not know what to expect Or if I will be returning soon Surprise to say, some may think that this "planet" is a reject I find myself upon this escarpment Looking to the north, I see a glass building two stories tall This is a greenhouse, and two young children in predicament A huge Bengal tiger upstairs, waiting for them to fall These human aliens silently cry out for help So I intend to put my life on the line, to save these strangers I cannot bear to see them eaten, and their remains put upon a shelf To be certain, I am ready to face extreme pain and many dangers. So I quickly move upstairs; I calm the tiger down One boy, one girl; so scared, so frozen in time I talk kind words to these kids and swiftly lead them to the ground To rescue two kids from certain death, but the glory is not mine William Morrissey 3/2/07
