Moon Made of Cheese
by Steven M. Hewitt
On a night in June the moon sits
alone on the horizon
like a yellow ball of cheese,
peeking through the clouds
like a giant wheel of Gouda
or maybe a round of Swiss...
look closely and you will see the holes.
Remember those cartoons
when we were young?
a mouse lands on the moon
and scoops up a chunck of cheese
and pops it in his mouth...
nowhere have I read
that the astronauts
were lovers of cheese
and brought back only rocks
to appease a hungry Earth
left behind to moon over
that tasty golden orb.
