The Man in the Moon

Do you know

the man in the moon?

I'm going to visit 

him very soon.

Last night

I was in bed reading

when suddenly I

could hear him pleading:

"Is anyone out there?

Could you please

send over some crackers

for my cheese?"

So I'm going with

crackers and tea and a scone,

and I'll be his friend

so he's not so alone.

Sneaking out

should be quite easy,

mom is in the kitchen

looking very busy.

My room door is shut

I've left the light on -

with any luck

mom won't know that I'm gone.

And if she does

I'm sure she will see

that the man in the moon

really needs me.

I'll tell him stories

of my dog and my bear,

he can play with my doll -

if he takes great care.

I hope he enjoys

a chat and the snack -

but by dinner-time

I must be back.
