It's amazing how big the moon looks 
Through binoculars. 
It's as if you're looking into 
Someone's face up close, 
Someone you're supposed to know. 

There are warts, 
A missing tooth, 
The receding hairline, 
Unshaved hairs growing out of 
A mole on one cheek. 

You'd think with modern technology 
We could fix this. 
It would be nice to have 
The moon smile again, 
Like it did in the old days.
