Moon

If I could, then I surely would, 
jump right up to the Moon.
I’d sit up there in an easy chair
and gaze upon on the Earth.
Drinking Yorkshire tea 
from an old chipped mug,
stirred with a plastic spoon.

I would walk on the Moon and 
dance on the Moon, 
then pray for all I’m worth
That one day soon, I’ll return to the moon,
‘fore I jump back down to Earth.

Space travel has always been fascinating, Kevin. We see the moon so clearly at night, but I've heard our astronauts saw something while on the moon that has not been disclosed to the public. Ah, to visit! Hugs, Carolyn

For a day trip maybe, a journey to the moon, but I'd be concerned that I couldn't get back to earth. Cute rendering of your dreams, I picture you lying on your back, looking up at the moon. Love the details here with the Yorkshire tea, chipped mug and plastic spoon.

The moon is very beautiful to behold at night, especially when surrounded with starry designs.
