The Dark of the Moon



There is an old saying.
If you want something to grow in the ground, 
you plant it in the dark of the moon. 
If you want it to grow above the ground, 
you plant it in the full moon. 
But I always planted mine in the dirt cause 
I don't believe in all that. 
Like my daddy said: I never planted in the moon! 
But that is a fact of life.
