Full Moon, it slowly wanders, brightly across the sky
Just like a silver dollar gently floating by
The light of the silvery Moon is surely sublime
Lunatics and Werewolves find it divine

It moves around the Earth in a gentle ellipse
Now and then its path forms a solar eclipse
Size and distance, proportionally the same
Isn’t amazing how neat it fits the frame?

As it passes in front, it hides the Sun’s disc
At least once a year with ne’er a risk
It waxes and wanes and creates the Ocean tide
Full Moon, blue Moon, seen just from one side

Reach up and try to grab it, many men have tried
Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins would not be denied
“The Eagle has landed,” Armstrong declared
For his famous descent he slowly prepared

As he stepped onto the surface, leaving the module behind
“A small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind”
To walk the lunar surface, first step to the stars
‘Tis mankind’s greatest triumph, next stop planet Mars
