Tonight's Detractions

Stars play all day, OK can't come out tonight Moon's unavailable too, by the way second-degree burns from the sunlight Earthlings, amuse yourselves in the dark gaze upward from a graveyard or trailer park

Those last two lines are amusing. No matter what is happening here you can look for escape in the stars…

A fun take of the sky show! Funny, I play all day in the graveyard next to the trailer park.

loved the title...so appropriate. No stars for us either last night...moon has disappeared. Loved the phrase, 'earthings, amuse yourselves...' I hope folks did. I enjoyed reading your clever creation. Enjoy your day, Sara

Clever as ever, I guess. Thank you for the encouragement, Sara!

Heh-heh. Hadn't thought about 'earthlings' for a while, actually. ~ Man in the Moon
