To The Moon

What a Wonderful Journey it has Been

In my dream, I flew to the moon

On a giant turtle's back, so fast and soon

We soared through the stars, past Saturn and Mars

Until we reached the lunar surface, a cosmic bazaar

There, I met a talking cactus

Who offered me a psychedelic elixir

I drank it down, and suddenly

I was a mermaid, swimming through the galaxy

I swam through nebulae and black holes

Dodging comets and asteroids and space trolls

Until I reached a planet made of ice cream

Where unicorns and leprechauns danced in a dream

But as I basked in the glow of this wonderland

I suddenly woke up, back in my own hand

The dream was over, but the memory lingers on

Of my wild and crazy journey to the moon and beyond
