Sublunary Evening

Redden your lips with comet spray.
Powder your nose with wanderlust.
Slip softly into your silver slippers.
Sprinkle your hair with stardust.

Let your train of celestial silk fall
Over your gown of nebular lace.
Spread a plate of cosmic cold cream
Adding radiant glow to your face.

A gentlemen awaits your dazzling descent.
In a heavenly hansom he's come to call.
You're on your way to the Milky Way
For the nocturnal event of the Galaxy Ball.
