Bright stars are coquettishly winking and blinking to The Man in the Moon, I'll call him Nod. Now Nod, you see, is an introvert type; He stands by the wall of the Milky Way's dream, which is just his way, not the least bit odd, fervently wishing upon that first star he's not found out by the rocket's red glare and subsequent bombs bursting in air. Young Nod's got the twinkle for that cute little Star near the bar, the one with golden tresses gallantly streaming o'er her ramparts. He's not much time in this world so high to make his move, for she needs to meet curfew before dawn's early light. He scopes her out, entranced, in the most brilliant of dresses, its broad stripes and bright stars wave as we watch. Taps her on the shoulder, says, "Hey, little missy, you're like a diamond in the sky" and goes on to say, "Oh! Say, can you see I'd like to buy you a drink?" Star; not being the falling star kind of star, replies, "How I wonder what you think you are, Nod! Hightail it off to the next solar system or face a perilous fight!" Poor, poor Nod (you gotta pity him). Being the Man he is, falls back to the wall, safe o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave (more braver than he). Nodding off to the twilight's last gleaming; holds Star in his dreams, giving proof through the night that his flag-bannered Twinkle will still be there when the bright stars are coquettishly winking and blinking once again....for Nod. ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. -Song of Gesture |

It's a mix between the US Nat'l Anthem and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. I even threw in some John Wayne. hehehe It was a riot to write. Pleased you enjoyed the read, Marge and Wil.  ...chanson~ Music, tonal clear & pure, Caresses the harshest of curves. -Song of Gesture |
