Lassoing The Moon

Lassoing The Moon

A Poem by spence
"

Television at Christmas

"

 

It’s that wonderful time
Of Christmas Card rhymes
Lassoing the moon for you
 
Festive filled belly
James Stewart on the telly
It’s a wonderful life; it’s true
 
But when I switch channels
The remote hits the panels
It’s Bono and the Live Aid crew
 
‘Do they know it’s Christmas?’
They should do; its big business
They’ve been working all year getting screwed!
 
Band Aid play guilt hints
While they’re making a mint
And prepare to make off with the loot
 
But I don’t want to think
So I’ll get me some drink
I’ll be shooting this moon right through!

A whim. I was challenged to write something about the moon and this spewed forth from my twisted little mind!
