The Moon with finely chiselled face br awoke to see his ancient foe br dress up with gold-embroidered lace br to execute her morning show. br br Quickly he looked to earth, straight down br into the calmest, clearest lake. br It mirrored back his lunar frown br and made him look like patty cake. br br He wondered then what folks preferred, br the choice was Moon, or else the Sun, br his vision was a little blurred, br as always when his shift was done, br br when suddenly the Sun said 'Luna, br I think you're handsome and a tease, br go cover up under your doona, br it's daytime now, my little cheese.' br br And Moon went to the land of dreams, br not very happy to be labelled br a dairy product, but it seems br that he became badly disabled br br in his next dream and that the Sun br had helped to warm his ailing soul. br And when it all was said and done, br the Moon was healthy, happy, whole, br br and since that day they joke and tease br each dawn and dusk, foggy or hazy. br The Sun still says 'my little cheese', br but in return he calls her 'Daisy'.
