The moon and the sun are providing
This minute a sky that’s exciting.
…I’d like to say “howdy”,
…But here it’s too cloudy.

Because the thick clouds will not sunder,
…That it would just rain –
…Pitter patter my pane.
I’d like to see lightning; hear thunder.

I’ll guess I’ll just wait till the next one.
In two ought three three, there’ll be more fun.
…Egads! I’ll be old!
……Oh.
…I shouldn’t have told.
……Sigh.
Eclipsed super moon brought admission.
