STARDUST AND MOON

 

To touch Stardust, I promised Ms. Dame,

To taste the Moon, I promised Ms. Coon,

These girls, these twins

          with differing names

Cared not for me, but just the Game�

What fantastic promises, it�s just the same,

Preposterous, ridiculous, I�m so insane!

 

�It�s all the same,� they told me too!

�The sky�s the sky and it just won�t Fall,

The heaven�s beyond your puny reach,

Go beckon the Stars and Moon to within our

                                                                  reach,

To play with us and make us smile,

We don�t mind, it�ll be

                                  Worth While!!

 

I felt real flushed,  I didn�t feel tall,

Those smiling lips, those beckoning hips,

Just how to keep my promises to all?

 But how indeed to meet my call?

 

We know, we know,  

                            we who know KNOW,

How indeed to meet my call?

The lips, the hips, ...Yes, make me stand tall.

 

My quest was ended, this riddle�s answered,

These gifts from heaven left hidden and scattered,

Til one day these stones, these stones of wonder

 Found love found favor

      reaped passion and plunder,

 Found Bedoins and carpetbaggers

      found Tucson 'n even Denver...

 

Our DAGs, our NWAs, our SAHs, Great Sands �n such

Allowed us mortals to caress, to touch,

These tears of heaven and shreds of Moon...

I feel the reverence, I'm ready to swoon..

It's all the same, it's all for the Game...

My promises, my promises,

to Ms. Dame and Ms. Coon.
