Cherry Pie

Half-moon hangs in a cloudy sky

The creamy cradle sits so high

Upon the clouds that seem to sigh

"Dim-lit moon, good-bye, good-bye.

One day, surely, you will die.

And until then we will hide

Your wrinkled face from the girl and guy

Who do the laws of fate defy

And look you sternly in the eye.

They ask for help but you deny

And answer curtly with a lie.

You tell the girl she cannot fly.

You tell the guy he can't rely

On what he really feels inside

To let the girl just slip on by.

Though the girl's love is cherry pie

The guy, he takes your word and tries

To let her go, although she cries.

She wonders how she will survive.

How dare you replace such a happy life

With two that are filled with tears and strife?"

The half-moon nodded and replied

"I only want to do what's right.

And if you expose that girl to flight

A whole-life charge may aply

And I don't want to watch her die.

Alas, my friends, as for the guy

There's more to life than cherry pie."

Poetry in most excellent rhyme, slides on down to the cherry pie, takes a bite, feels divine just needs a little cream on top. lovely poem
