Ol' Strawberry Moon.

The Moon is seen all over the world,
Why?
Because of gravity
And space
And time,
We view the Moon in phases,
In different countries,
Different systems,
Ah Politics!
We view the Moon
In different cultures,
Different names,
Sometimes in different streets,
Specially Charlie had
Crammed the big berries into his mouth,
Meanwhile looking at Alice!
He was thinking of the ol' Strawberry moon out there
Beyond the veranda...
All this
Because of the Moon!

Hence:
'Charlie crammed the big berries into his mouth

All this
Because of the Moon!
