The Moon Remembers

The magical moon is slender tonight
    In two weeks 'twill be slender and bright

  Another fortnight and back to slender
    Forsooth, it hasn't forgotten its (!) gender

It must be a man for he never stays more than a few days--any longer and he's only half the man he was. :) just kidding.

The gender of the moon has since the beginning of time kept to its habitual motion of waxing and waning over a 28 day period. Clever the use of the word gender in your couplets. hugs and blessings, Jennifer

I'm glad that 'gender' engendered such a nice comment, Jennifer! Thanks! :) gw
