The Moon Is A Loafof Bread Poem by Dr. Ahmed Gumaa Siddiek

The Moon Is A Loafof Bread



George Bailey: What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the Moon. Just say the word and I will throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That is a good idea. I will give you the moon, Mary.
Mary: I will take it. Then what?
George Bailey: Well, then you can swallow it, and it'll all dissolve, see... and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair... am I talking too much?

So how do you see the moon in the sky?
When she is bright and blooming?
Or when She is shy?
With Her white face full of glee
And her picture reflected on the silent sea?

Do you see the moon as a mere piece of rock?
Or a nice lady's face devoid of a dangling lock?
Do you see the moon's face as a bride in her wedding dress?
Surrounded by her bride mistresses
Filled with joy and happiness?

How does the bridegroom see the moon?
Like his own bride?
Does he see her contented
With delight and pride?
And beautiful and elegant
With more delight?

How does a lover
See the moon's face?
Does he see the moon like
His darling's face?
With sweet smiles
And a tiny mouth ready to kiss
Or a full breast to embrace?

How does prisoners see the moon's face?
Prisoners, the moon, they do not enjoy
However, the moon is a piece of rock to an angry man
As deprived from pleasure and joy
But it is a piece of bread, far to reach to a hungry boy
