Silvery Moon,

Source of all our mystery,

Sensuous mirror,

Reflector of our dreams.

Tonight, I’ve come to outwit you.

Here is my magic tool.

A flask of red red wine,

Finest Rubicon of the Cape.

I’ll raise my bottle up high,

To absorb all of your beams,

And as I drink this glowing fire,

Your light will reach my heart.

But when I look at you, dear Moon,

And see her reflected in your light.

She’s filled with wonder and with joy

But no...not by me tonight.

How are you Fred, I miss seeing you around, know you are busy and me too, My son is doing much better, and is on dialysis again for awhile, hoping the transplanted kidney comes back, and not much damage was done to his heart, I don't know who responded to my pieces so thanking you here, I am a very busy old lady, love you Fred, Elsie. Always have time for a dance with you though.
