Blue Moon – Advance Warning!
Blue moons are few and far between
hardly ever seen
generally mean
it’s time to do something rare.
I’m writing this early to give you a chance
to plan in advance
so that, perchance,
you can do something on a dare.
The trick is finding something to do
beneath the blue moon
that’s completely new
but you never want to do again.
Like bungee jumping or herding cats
or wearing silly hats,
kooky actions that
make people think you’ve gone insane.
I haven’t quite decided what I’ll do
when the moon turns blue
but I know that you
can’t be included in what’s done
’cause if I’m not allowed to re-do
until that silly moon
turns that shade of blue
It’s better if it isn’t too much fun.
