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 :)

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
