It's Your Shift

entry picture

The Sun was getting tired

Spent all day keeping all warm

She through on last ray

Hit me right in the eye she did

“Your shift”, she said.

Pulled me from behind the cloud, she did

So I shouted at the Herald to wake up the stars

Drag in the darkest blanket

Me! Sun had been lazy; so I had to push day out.

Got me right flushed it did; my face went all creamy.

“Oi! you “ I shouted at a kid in the street,

“get off home your mums cooking your tea,

And stop pointing at me like that, its rude”.

I got back an Herald had done a great job

All the stars were where they should be,

And he’d put out the best dark blanket; tucked it in too.

I said, “Son, your Dad would have been very proud of your

Work tonight. Have the rest of the night off and here

Is an extra £10 bonus for you and your girlfriend, ‘Dawn’.

Go take her to that new multiplex on ‘

Tibb Street
’.

Don’t forget to dusk of your best jacket”

Before I could say ‘boo’ to a bat; they were gone;

Left me MOOOOONING the whole world.

Cheek!

◄ It’s not just me

Interesting poem. I could picture the moon watching the sun stretch and yawn across the sky, casting its sunset colors over the horizon, and then night falls. And it's the moon's shift to shine and light up the sky. :)
