Day Trade

I woke up today 
to a brand new day
The sun was gone 
the moon in its place
They both got bored 
and decided to trade
Figured it'd be fun 
to do it that way

Before too long 
the trade caught on
The East went West
and the West went along
Then they both disappeared
when here traded with gone
Though it all happened slow
because short is now long

Night went to day
and day went to night
Tried to trade back
but day was too dark to find
Decided to stay
when decision changed its mind
Sat back to relax
When it traded with time

The North went South
looking to trade
But who could blame
The South for staying the same
They took it out back
which is now front
Sat down to have dinner
when it traded with lunch

If you ask yes
it was a tradable day
If you haven't already guessed
in quite a tradable way

Another super fun read, Mike. I certainly don't blame the south with not wanting to trade. Lol
