Under the Moon In June

I cringed as she reached for a prune
in June as we gazed at the moon,
I kissed her before
she ate any more,
and knew she'd be running off soon...

written 5th June for Andrea's Moon in June contest

Oh my! Another very funny one, Jack. Good luck in the contest. I think Andrea was looking for humor.
