one day the moon was full

and the dogs yowled

because they wanted to be wolves

one day the sun shone

and the cats roared

because they wanted to be lions

one day the girl danced

and the boys called

because they wanted to be men

one day the boy kissed

and the girl kissed back

'cause she wanted to be a woman

one day the dad hit

and the boy hit his mom, too

because he wanted to be just like dad

one day the mom sniffed

and the girl sniffed it too

because she wanted to be just like mom

one day the dog died

and then the cat did

because she missed him

one day the moon was full

and it shone

because it wanted to be like the sun

one day the sun hid behind the clouds

because it wanted to disappear.
