Caught Between the Moon and Andrea

Inspired by Andrea Dietrich's poem: One More Lonely Night - Revised 

With an uneven complexion - off-white,
the moon said, to Andrea, shining bright,
"Won't you, mine, always be"
"No sir, I cannot", said she - 
"You are just a 'fly by night'".

Hello David, a little moon-mischief, a little flirtation, and a nod to our poetess friend Andrea without ever slipping into sentimentality. Winter Blessings, David, Daniel
