The Moon Slipped On a Mask

The moon winked at me Then slipped on a mask 'Twas baby blue, so easy to see Startled, I said, 'I've a question to ask' 'Be my guest,' said the moon His response muffled a bit 'O.K.,' replied I; 'I'll ask it real soon Just one thing first, 'cos I don't get it I feel that the man in the moon is hiding somewhere Tell him COVID's down here ~ not yet up there!'

I hope it is NOT up there! I cannot even fathom that horrible thought! Like this personification so much! Pictured the masked moon immediately.

Don't worry. COVID's not interested in the moon. It's headed for bigger things! ~ gw
