What the Man in the Moon Would Do.

What the Man in the Moon Would do!

As posed in question form 

one night to his distant face. 

What would the man 

in the moon do,

if he could break free 

of earth's gravity?

and enjoy complete 

independence

O~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

"Hmmmmm.....

first of all 

I'd scrape off 

all the junk 

that the astronauts 

left on my face. 

I'd join the 

universal church, 

or just spend 

my summers 

sipping shakes, 

fresh from 

the Milky Way.

I'd get some botox 

to fix my 

cratered countenance, 

and then try to get 

a date with Venus,

she's really 

a hot one I hear.

I'd tell that 

sun of a bitch

to lighten up, 

my dark side that is.

I'd find a name 

that is not the same

as Human buffoons

dropping thier drawers, 

and exposing some 

crack for fun.

I'd cause all 

of the tides on earth 

to become gentle,

massaging waves

for all the bathers 

to bask in,

as well as 

give the surfers

the most gnarly

Tidal generated 

waves to sail across,

one after another

reaching over 

twenty feet high,

till they escalate down

in gentle landings,

on the dunes ridges.

I'd eclipse myself 

and shed no

light at all 

on any of 

the war zones 

of the earth

where men 

use my light  

to kill each 

other nightly.

I'd catch every 

shooting star,

and confiscate 

their weapons

I've got more

than my share

of holes from

their really 

bad aims 

Then I'd nail 

that silly cow 

that insists 

on hurdling me,

you have no idea 

how many cow patties

are stinking 

up my valleys.

Then perhaps

I'd move my asteroid 

to a planet 

that wasn't bent 

on destruction,

and take a spin 

around it

for a couple 

of million years.

Although I would miss 

the eons of lovers 

who were moved to 

kiss their sweethearts

in the glow of my

Nightly beams.

Yes, if I could escape

the gravity of 

earth's position,

then I would 

most likely abandon

all those 

who inhabit it,

that are intent on 

destroying it 

forevermore.

I would rather have

peaceful neighbors

wouldn't you?
