The Moon and her Mother

after Aesop

"Make me a gown," begged the moon of her mother.
"Please make me a gown," cried she.
"It cannot be done," the moon's mother replied,
"for what size and shape would it be?"

"At times you're as full and as round as the sun;
at other times, thin as a blade,
and in between you wax and wane,
so no fit gown can be made."

Beaver Moon or Frost Moon is, apparently, the name of tonight's full moon, which will appear full for the next couple of days. It certainly looked bright tonight.
