Joseph May Poet Limerick

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
