The Beauty of the Moon

[Cyberman]

God was indeed on top form when he created the Moon.

3 years ago the moon was supposed to look the largest ever. new moon in summer near horizon. rising about 10pm. we drove out to Kent to find somewhere to watch it. Struggled to find somewhere (best site occupied by doggers!) and ended up getting best view from end of our road!

I take a bottle of wine
and I go to drink it among the flowers.

We are always Three
counting my shadow
and my friend
the Shimmering Moon.

Happily the Moon
knows nothing of drinking

and my shadow is never thirsty.

When I sing
the Moon listens to me
in silence.

When I dance
my shadow dances too.

After all festivities
the guests must depart;

This sadness I do not know.
When I go home

The Moon goes with me
and my shadow follows me.

FSM's companion. As any fule kno' - the moon is made of cheese.

btw - the use of God in this context does not entail any supernatural deity, unless you're really anal. It simply is a allusion to "the powers of creation".

[Churchill]

"I wish I was a spaceman,
the fastest guy alive

I'd fly you ‘round the universe.
In fireball xl5.


Way out in space together.
Conquerors of the sky.

My heart would be a fireball.

A fireball.

Every time I gaze into your starry eyes.

We’d take a path to Jupiter and maybe very soon.
We’d cruise along the Milky Way and land upon the Moon.

To a wonderland of stardust.
We’ll zoom our way to mars.

My heart would be a fireball.

A fireball.

And you would be my Venus of the stars.”

From some ancient record of my dad's:


I .

Fascinating ZG - Ive never heard of these Artists - was this on an old 78 rpm per chance ? I found a box of these 78 Rpm's records up the attic - with such gems as

'Frankie and Johnny were Lovers '

'You got to have money in the Bank - Frank'

And Lonnie Donnegan - 'The Battle of New Orleans'

It's bollocks, bollocks, bollocks, bollocksy bollocks and trying to use that to say there must be a god is barking mad behaviour. I cannot be doing with it.

What a cheerful life you must lead:

"Daddy isn't this beetle beautiful!"
"It's just pigment to warn birds not to eat it."

"Daddy look at the sunset!"
"It's just sunlight reflecting off pollution in the atmosphere"

In Liverpool one night, I says to my mate - 'wow, look at the knockers on her'
he says 'they are just two lumps of fat designed to feed milk to babies'


we were not mates for much longer but it took me thirty years to spot where he had been wrong - it was the 'just'

there's nothing 'just' about the moon, a sunset or a fine pair of knockers
