Under Earth-Lit Night Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Under Earth-Lit Night
Book six days seven nights on Earth's moon
For a lifetime's chance sooner than soon,
And under Earth-lit light
Spend honeymoon's rare night,
And return owning a desert dune
(Feeling like a short-changed one more Lune!)
______________________________________
The way to Moon is set on course with India's launch of Moon Mission, Chandrayan-2. Whilst we wait for the Moon Lander to land on Moon, one can visualize a few tour promoting adverts a la this Limerick. Of course, the sixth line given in a bracket they won't expressly say. Happy journey!

Thank you very much, and I know when you say 'Nice limerick' you mean well, yet, however this word 'nice' it its journey (etymology) , has undergone so much change that today in some sense it has acquired negative connotations. But all we poets have are words, and words only.

Brilliantly expressed. A nice limerick has been created on Chandrayan-2.. Thank you dear sir for sharing this interesting poem.
Thanks indeed, you know, this humour sometimes goes out of hand, and may draw reactions never imagined ere. Chandrayan-2, even before the successful operations of landing of the Moon Lander, and moon walk of the Rover, is a big achievement. The humour is really addressed elsewhere.
