I can fly. When you sing, it gives me wings. I often wonder, while you sing down under and your voice gives me a lift, if I might return your sweet gift. Fetch you the moon on a spoon? I could, but do you really think I should? Why not go for something far? Can I get you a star? but, if you insist, I won't resist. Pretty soon, the moon - yours!

I like how light this poem is with very cute imagery. Can I get you a star? - great line.

Thanks elle! Here's the inside story on that picture. It's actually, believe it or not, supposed to be the moon. It looks a little more like a manta ray. It's a bit too squat to be the moon, but it can be, with a little imagination. As you know, the moon has a man on it, right? Well, that long line in the middle is his nose. It's the moon in profile!
