Lasso the Moon

If I had a thread I’d lasso the fullest full moon
I’d drag it closer to me singing a happy tune
about eating green cheese with a fork and a spoon
I’d fly up to the sky on the back of a pink baboon
and I’d dance with the fairies in a snowstorm in June.

If I had a rope I’d tie it around the blue sky
I’d tiptoe across it and fly with the birds way up high
I’d sing my silliest songs about the bright fire flies
and dance like those fairies without ever caring why
I’d become light like a cloud that is baked in a pie

If I had a fishing line I’d use it to reel in the sun
I’d cast and I’d pull ‘til my work was finally done
and I’d skip in the warm rays like butterflies on the run
I’d spend my happiest days racing the fairies having fun
knowing the love that they share is the best prize to be won

If I had a friend who lived way far away from me
I’d sing her a song and show her all the love that I see
and I’d take her the fairies that dance among the leaves
We'd be forever together sharing stories and memories
I’d forever love and cherish my friend so very far from me

Are you related to Peter Pan

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
