Fuck the Moon

Post by solongleonard »

this was posted here in 2010 and the cheery sunshine tone still makes me smile, and makes me remember there is always gentle fun out there is only we look



Fuck the moon
And its indecision
And cream cheese beyond its sell-by date
And its selective romance
And its cloud disguise
Fuck the moon
And its illegitimate sun
And its yellow fever
And its boast of stardom
Fuck the moon
The golden boy of the Universe
And its broken imitation of an egg
Panned by its critics


the Lady who wrote it evcen supplied an explanatory version for the thicker chaps here



Fuck the moon
And its indecision (waxing and waning)
And cream cheese beyond its sell-by date (moon made out of cream cheese)
And its selective romance (its everything if your luck is in, its a lamppost if not)
And its cloud disguise (obvious)
Fuck the moon
And its illegitimate sun (pun son)
And its yellow fever (obvious)
And its boast of stardom (star pun)
Fuck the moon
The golden boy of the Universe (obvious)
And its broken imitation of an egg (break it, fry it, yellow and round)
Panned by its critics (it's a pan pun upon)

I remember reading this great work of literature many years ago and really appreciated the in depth explanatory version.
Move over Carol Ann Duffy this author will no doubt be in the running for the next poets laureate.

This is my favourite line. It says it all.
And its selective romance (its everything if your luck is in, its a lamppost if not)
Pure Genius! ...

Thanks for the smiles
:D :D :D :D
