Sun and Moon

CHRISTOPHER HOLLIS

Oh, spare a penny for the Sun. The Moon these days has all the fun And entertains its guests from earth For what that may be worth The Moon is better than the Sun. The Moon these days has all the fun.

While the pale Moon can show its light, From time to time, at least, by night, The ruddy Sun must shine by day When it's light anyway.

Oh, spare a penny for the Sun. Cudlipp is sure its day is done, And all the pundits say it must Infallibly go bust The Moon fires on with every guR. The Moon these days has all the fun.
