HOW MANY MOONS?

If we measured life
in moons misused and wasted,
how many left full?

                              And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
                              Thinking about women and glasses of beer
                              And closing his eyes as the dogies retire
                              He sings out a song which is soft but it’s clear
                              As if maybe someone could hear…
