Dark Side of the Moon

Every child knows the moon has a face 
that looks down kindly on the human race.
But can anyone ever calm the screams 
of the frightened child who constantly dreams
of the demon face that's never shewn 
on the dark side of that self-same moon?

You can see why the moon always shows his, no, I guess it's her, good side to the earth. Seriously, it's kind of weird when you think of it, that since ancient time, nobody saw the dark side of the moon, even after having good telescopes to get a good look at the front. I guess it was the 1960s before the sent a spaceship to get a look at the other side.
