Moon Phases
The moon was out of place last night
The moon was out of place
While out of place it saw the ace, it saw the cosmic ace
The moon was full of grace last night
The moon was full of grace
While full of grace it lit the prase, it lit the cosmic prase
The moon was profile face last night
The moon was profile face
While profile face it lay the case, it lay the comic case
The moon was given chase last night
The moon was given chase
While given chase it set the pace, it set the cosmic pace
The moon was on each base last night
The moon was on each base
While on each base, it ran the race, it ran the cosmic race
The moon was lost in space last night
The moon was lost in space
While lost in space it got the trace, it got the cosmic trace
