LUNANCY, by                    
First Line: The moon is a clown with a silly face
Last Line: And dangles a star on the edge of a hill.
Subject(s): Moon


The moon is a clown with a silly face,
He ogles and leers from behind a tree;
Two clouds are his hands and he lifts them up
To hide his smirk from the eyes of me.

But I laugh at him at the break of night
When he twists his head as a buffoon will,
And blows perplexed at the snuffed-out sun
And dangles a star on the edge of a hill.
