If the moon and the sun waged a war, <br />Who would win? The moon, I'm sure. <br /> <br />The sun would fight face to face, <br />Making sure everything was proper and in its place. <br /> <br />The sun would often stop and double check, <br />Just to make certain he was politically correct. <br /> <br />While the sun was being fair and safe, <br />The moon was off in a darkened place. <br /> <br />In the night, the moon slipped around <br />And hid behind the sun somehow. <br /> <br />The evening ended and the sun awoke. <br />He rose quickly as the morning broke. <br /> <br />The sun searched but could not find the moon, <br />And the sun was happy the war had ended so soon. <br /> <br />When the day turned dark and dark turned black, <br />The moon stabbed the sun in his well-meaning back.<br /><br />Richard Betts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/correct/
