Riding On Moonbeams

'Twas late one night in the month of June I decided to fly to the moon The view from the moon did show That the Earth was all aglow The I heard the stars twinkle and croon! I saw that Venus was quite near So I took a flight over there If I had known all along That its days were so darn long I'd have visited another sphere I saw a couple stars implode As on golden moonbeams I rode I caught two falling stars And threw them out to mars Before landing at my abode 2-28-2022 Tall Tales 1 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Jeff Kyser PS Syllable Counter
