Listen to poem:
Why did the moon rise tonight all red faced?
Is it embarrassed by humans disgraced,
By their uncaring disregard and waste,
On the planet they have trashed and defaced?
Why do they come up here with such distaste?
Leave all their junk here, with moon face debased
By their footprints and scats left here in haste!
With no thought for how it leaves me red-faced
Why do you have to come here so shamefaced?
Please stay at home and leave me unchasted.
With celestial body, clean and white-faced.
