Uncle History and the Gibbous Moon

Gibbous moon
Sleep but not yet
Hunger over for the day
Uncle History wants nothing
If someone asked him
To make a wish
He couldn’t do it
What do you give history
When its feeling content
When its forgotten
The long ditch
And ashes
When it feigns satisfaction
You sing tsuris:
Aggravation
