Moonstruck

'Wherever Love conquers men go bonkers. this is a fact well known.' 'Ariosto' - 'Arry Oo? - 'Oh no, it's not you! Didn't I give you the slip? He was a great poet. It's high time you know it, and don't interrupt me again. Orlando Furioso' -' I'm not sure, I suppose so the weather has been very strange.' 'Love drove him mad' - 'How very sad a woman is always the cause.' 'Don't interrupt or I'll get very abrupt and you don't want that to happen. To find a relief, now this staggers belief, his sanity was sealed in a bottle to make matters worse, oh what a curse, the bottle was not on this earth. In fact it had lain on a cold lunar plain among other things lost on our planet, like lovers' tears and secret fears and the big one that got away. An English knight pitied his plight and he undertook the journey, and so at full throttle he flew to the bottle on a fearsome and fiery dragon. With his sanity back, Orlando lost track of the lady who had excited his passion. On earth reviled, things unwanted are piled in lunar caverns and crannies.' 'That story was nice but one tale won't suffice to meet my need to hear stories.' 'This coming June there's a flight to the moon and you're going to be on it.'
