The Moon would
sing a sad sad song
If she had a mouth –
But clad with anorthorsite and crater
pocks,
She’ll be mute for evermore.The Moon would sing a sad
sad song
If she had emotion –
But her rigid lithospheric mantle
Keeps her cool and distant.
The Moon would sing
a sad sad song
If she had a soul –
But she’s a dry and dusty rocky
crust
Without atmosphere or air.
The Moon would sing
a sad sad song
If she had a heart –
But her core’s an iron-rich non-magnetic
ball
And she’s really just a moon.
