The man on the Moon, oh so alone

Way up there on that solar round stone

Night and Day, he is the one

Only he above the Earth and under the Sun

It’s a mystery we’d love to unravel

How he got there, from where did he travel

Why did he leave wherever he came from

No sense to ask him, since he remains mum

Did he leave his wife, if he was married

‘Cause married life kept him too harried

Or perhaps moon-shine sent him up high

But not to the Sun where he’d surely fry

Did his mom here on Earth

Have an immaculate birth

We Earthlings may never know

If his mom had a beau

Perhaps he had no choice or option

For his high-up Moon adoption

Sadly, the man on the Moon remains oh so alone

Way up there on that solar round stone
