Mr Moon

I wake up in the morning
and sing a happy tune
I nearly spit my coffee out
'cause, look there's the moon!

What's the moon doing out
in the light of day?
I think I'll ask Mr. Moon
and see what he will say!

             * * *
It turns out "Mister" Moon,
is neither girl nor boy
it's gender neutral
and goes out whenever 
it $#$@#* wants to! and I should mind my own %@i&^% business!!!
but I don't know who Karen is...

I guess he favors guy or gal, when romance is involved but it seems Mr. Moon has a secret or a gender identity crisis - Karen you mentioned...............?????????????????? A real fun poem! hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Just something silly. A comment about everyone's touchiness and sensitivity these days... I think :)

"Karen" seems to me to be the new word for "busy body." :)

Sounds like Mr or Ms or ‘They’ Moon got out of bed the wrong side - perhaps with a slight touch of Karenism; it’s what other people have. Nice one P.S.!

This is so cute and funny P.S. My granddaughter noticed that the moon looked like it had a face and she pointed it out to me and I told her that’s where the saying the man in the moon comes from. I prefer to think the moon is a female named Luna. : )

When my daughter was a tot, she said with her toddler speak that it was not a man—it was a”dirl.” it is a wonder that we see a face on the moon!. I’m glad you liked this odd little poem. Thank you -ps

MR. AND Mrs. moon and others - perhaps others would be the preferred word. or maybe don't look at the moon whilst sipping coffee. Good one P.S. HUGS, blessings, Jennifer

Perhaps the moon is lost or exploring the secrets of daybreak. A moment well captured, PS.
