Moon and Dangly

Once upon a time in the land of greens,
Where the sky was silky soft and full of coloured dreams.
Deep inside a rainbow lived Happiness Stan,
in a small Victoriana charabanc.

Evening will be here quite soon,
Stan can sit and watch the moon.
Watching as the white light,
slowly makes the night bright,
Hours slipping by while time stands still.

Think of black and black will think for you,
It's covered Stan in bruises, of the darkness that he knew,
For black has stolen half the moon away.

For those old enough to know Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, you may remember Happiness Stan, narrated by the inimitable Stanley Unwin.

It's been a bit like that today. I must go and search for the other half of the moon.
