Queen of the Moon

When I was growing up, TV was all the rage You'd read the weekly guide from page to page. One of the shows that was never to be missed "The Honeymooners", where Alice always ended up being kissed. "Bang, Zoom, to the Moon Alice", Ralph would say Then realizing what a jerk he was, he would always have to pay. I remembered that line because I had a sibling - female One girl amongst five boys made her all too often wail. Being closest to me in terms of age She always wanted to tag along, which put me in a rage. My mother used to say to me more times than less "You have to treat your sister like a little Princess". Remembering all the times she made me mad I got an inspiration that I thought wasn't bad. One day my sister, whom I love so dear Went crying to my mother...with "Crocodile tears". So I was prepared for that eventful tryst Like Ralph...shaking my hand and raising my fist. And when my mom would her favorite line festoon, I answered back... "One day Mom, that little Princess is gonna be the Queen of the Moon!"

Go for it on the "To the Moon Alice!" if the spots are all full soup mail me and I will re open for you! Light & Love and thanks for the kind words and kind heart on Wounded, actually, I'm equally as sad about how my adult son relates to me and no one seems to have gotten that point? That I feel he is just as lost to me? Light & Love
