That hummed, it was just the moon.
A girl found out. She leaned close
To the moon and called out, Pa!
There’s a weird hum from the moon.
He came then and leaned close, too.
He heard it, but he heard it
All the time. Can you stop it?
I thought it came from the walls.
The girl cupped her hands and held
The moon on both sides. It stopped.
When I slow it down, the hum
Slows down, and if I stop it
So it can’t spin, then it stops.
He shook his head. So that’s it.
I was sure it was the house.
She smiled. Yeh, I thought so, too!
He laughed. I thought I heard it,
Not you! I thought it was strange.
I’m glad you weren’t spooked by it.
Now she laughed. But I was scared,
And I thought it was just me.
They both laughed. Well it’s gone now.
Not us or the house! The moon.
