February's Poem

 

I put an ad on craigslist for an Editor

Editor needed day and night to fallow me around and make me right

The only response was from the Sun and Moon, so I hired them on the spot.

I said "listen, I can't pay you anything, though I surely would if I could"

They are so sweet the Sun and Moon

They agreed

 

The first week I went about being and saying all the things I am and do

But not one peep from the Sun and Moon

 

The second week I went about being and saying all the things I am and do

And still no word from the Sun and Moon, so I called a meeting

"Listen" I said,"I know I'm not paying you much but can't you edit me at all?"

"Oh, no" said the Sun, "I liked you before you hired me and now I think I like you even more,

in fact, I feel paid in full each evening when I kiss the sea."

 

hmmmm..."Moon, what about you?"

 

"Oh I agree, in fact I think I like you more than he."

 

Well, flattery will get you far with me so I kept the Sun and Moon and reran the ad 

in hopes the wind and trees cant read.
