Not Cloudy Tonight Please

orchidee

Argh! Not cloudy tonight please

Or we won't see the strawberry moon

If I don't see it

I'll wait in me garden for 18 and half years

Until the next one!

 

It's 'sad', I know

But that's all I'll do

Sit in the garden all the time

Not make a move

Except for necessary things

I'll be there - you'll find me

Through Spring and Summer, Autumn and Winter

Well If I don't do that

I might miss the next moon

Around December 2043

Best to be prepared, I say

 

Or even if it's cloudless this evening

KP may distract me and say

'Any more money for my botox treatments, please?'

 

She'll spoil it for me

She'll ask me that

As soon as there's a break in any clouds

To make sure I'll miss the moon

But she'll suffer for doing that

I'll feed her more of Fido's bones

While he and I have roast dinner every day!

LOL.

      A fine write. I feel your pain. I would love to get into star-gazing but with light-pollution and cloud cover, I don't stand chance.
