Past Venus and Mars

The Moon slipped Mimosa* a drink
  The Star blushed and then blink-blinked
A comet gazed at this scene from afar
  Zoomed away past Venus and Mars

A perfect storm was brewing on Saturn
  All the rings were creating new patterns
Phantasmagoric, like the sun's wild corona
  Dramatic as a master-matador in Barcelona

All this took place last June
  When newlyweds revel in honeymoons
As for me, I turned out the light
  And kissed the Night-Sky goodnight

You're right, Kim. Even my wife has told me that my kisses are quite sad. So now I'm kissing the NIght-sky-map goodnight -- you know, I'm in 'rehab.' lol. ~ gw

Yes, mimosa certainly is a beautiful tree. I'd forgotten that somehow. Thanks, Rico
