When the Sun and the Moon
Came to court, seeking redress
The sun will not future the moon
Something to do with a misunderstanding
Of how many hours a day one works
A' w' works more, w' works the most, w' works best
Some would say the sun started this acrimony
Calling the moon lazy and empty without life
A scrounger, needing the sun
To define its value, always in after favour
The moon replied with anger, what!
When all this started in the beginning of earth time
It was a favour I did you Sun of man,
And of the nine planets;
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and the rest
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto
Earthlings refer to you as a God Apollo
Giver of life and light in the day
What of me, what do I get
An unsung hero
Who brings light to the night
When you can not reach
And allow lovers to court in romance
Walking under the moon light hand in hand
Yet even a kid as Cupid playing with arrows
Gets the recognition, stolen from me
I guide some religion, to fast with prayers
On full moon, for yet another God to be worshiped
I bring the high tide in, the fishes depend on me
For the sea to rest its dance the night
I give the wolves their voice to howl
To sing and hunt the night in joy
Yet you will question my worth
Because I am not a dummy god
Don't you forget Sun of t' nine planets don't you forget
I can eclipse you, when it comes to Earth
Long enough for earthlings
To question your status as god, long enough
Mind you
Long enough
Most of the fights occur on imaginary reasons.
