The Sailor and the Moon

There once was a Sailor at sea

That starred at the Moon, whenever he could see

For She was his one true love

The one he was always thinking of

But knew their love never could be

But that sailor held out hope

Whenever he raised the sail and tied off the rope

That one day soon

He’d sail to the Moon

So he wouldn’t have to sit around a moap

But one day, he made up his mind

No matter how long it took, the time he wouldn’t mind

That he would set sail

To reach the Moon or Hell

But it was only the end of the world he could find

As the Sailor neared the world’s edge

And got closer and closer to the ledge

The Moon was no closer

“But I can still reach her!” He would bolster

As his ship toppled over into the abyss

As he passed through a field of stars

The Moon now getting closer and closer to far

Onto his love, he would still hold

As he fell into the darkness’ fold

His last thoughts were only of Her
