Shoot the Moon

Shoot the Moon!

- a Faboolos story -

presents

Little boy, full of dreams fffilipeee was his name, re-edited on his own Not just names, he liked re-drawings too Every day new ways to re-re-dos Each new try revealed new means Rereredoing cracked up new things to be Colors, shapes and question marks Who would know what could we see? Cheap crayons, incentive grins, Slowly created new world-spins

Stacks of months, lots of rereres Shapes, colors, ones and zero degrees Tests and retests, then a big question was made “For our lovely magic beans, where would they glee?” Aware of it all fffilipeee would say “To the moon, my mom would pray!” Enough is enough, no time to rest Both looked up for the moon to see “If not the moon then stars we’ll be”

All in all, so much to look at Staring eyes, they glad or mad? Enough is enough, there’s way more to pree Then back there a new thing to see, A beautiful mountain with stars of glee Colors plus shapes, victorian filigrees “Maybe that’s a place for we?”

Reds and reds bricks on the road Slowly showing yellows, greens and bordeaux fffilipeee glimpsed some rereres So many new ways the world could be! The coloured mountain wasn’t born like that Marbles and tiles re-edited by hand Faboolos couldn’t even blink “Another place of rereres!”

Tea by 5, fish and chips Just no place they would rather be Faboolos then showed beans to grow It was so cool how here they glowed! Wondering if below that marbles-sea A fertile soil would make the universe see How tall could a magic tree be

Hugs and hugs it’s time to leave Even though both hoped to stay They just knew it right away If on Earth they had to wait New adventures were there to play

Besides the hope they’d bring back Somehow they could already see, Those nice views of blooming trees Generating newer cracks Impossible for the world to unsee The beauties that are The beans of rereres!

together?!

“Welcome welcome” mountaineers said “Which way we can be of help?” Faboolos had a fast reply “It’s been too long, we’re here to stay” “Oh… sorry… hi! Let’s smooth it out” “Our magic beans, could we explain?” Little giggles all around That was indeed a good place to start

“Shoot the moon?” Faboolos asked “It’s to the moon” he revised at last He was curious, not unkind “An English mistake? Never mind!” Cannon pointed, goggles up Who knew naivety could crack something up?

To the moon they went, flying through stars, Smiling through the lens, just no time for Mars With all force they went, piercing something on land “Sorry sorry Ms Moon, we didn’t mean for this mess” It was right in the right eye of Moonland Little did they know what was inside “It’s so red and blue” both exclaimed Wondering what else was there to see “Do you think that we, will find a nice place for our beans to be?”

Loads of rereres, lots of day-to-days Years and years revealed a new crack to stay Binary numbers came out of it Colors, shapes, now programming languages too Breaking news: something completely new A creature came to play Faboolos was his name A living creature that could connect All loose cracks with connected tracks Friends for life, adventures to play fffilipeee picked one right away “It’s one for the charts!”, or so he’d say!
