He Resolved To Speak To the Moon

Boy could not get a satisfactory answer on earth
So he resolved to speak to the moon
How will you do it? His dragon asked.
I shall fly up there tonight in my dreams, of course.

Boy was a possibility thinker.
That night he flew up to the moon and asked his question.
I have no idea, the moon said. Have you asked your dragon?
How did you know I have a dragon?

I heard you talking to him this afternoon.
This surprised the boy.
And it surprised the dragon.
Who always had the answer.

Ah, there are so many questions I'd like to ask the man in the moon. After all, he sees everything that goes on down here.

I believe we can ask him in our dreams, Hank.
