MOONCITY FAIR

This poem is a futuristic version of the well known folk song Scarborough Fair.

Are you going to Mooncity Fair?
_ _ _ Far away are starships lost in time;
Build me a ship to carry me there -
And you shall be a true love of mine.

If you can go to the green forest glade,
_ _ _ Far away are starships lost in time;
And fell fifty trees without any blade -
You shall be a true love of mine.

If you can show me in Heaven so wide,
_ _ _ Far away are starships lost in time;
The noonday and midnight side by side -
You shall be a true love of mine.

If you can build a machine that is wise,
_ _ _ Far away are starships lost in time;
And fly without wings through the cloud-silver skies -
You shall be a true love of mine.

And he has gone down to the earth-forest green,
_ _ _ Far away are starships lost in time;
And felled fifty trees with a laser beam .....
"I'll be," he said, "A true love of thine".

He took her away in his golden machine,
_ _ _ Far away are starships lost in time;
He showed her the Earth on his clear crystal screen ......
And they flew without wings through the moonsilver clime.

And they flew without wings
Through the moonsilver skies.
