Mondlicht

Mondschein

Mondschein

(Ein Gedicht von Dieter Kermas)

.

Ach wie schön war doch die Feier,

heimwärts schwankt der volle Meier.

Und des Vollmonds helles Licht

scheint Herrn Meier ins Gesicht.

Doch zu Meiers großem Schreck

ist das Mondlicht plötzlich weg.

Um ihn ist es stockedunkel,

´ne Wolke schluckt das Sterngefunkel.

Da schleichen Schritte auf ihn zu.

Vorbei ist´s mit Herrn Meiers Ruh.

Panisch hetzt er durch die Nacht.

Ein Schlag trifft ihn mit aller Macht.

Nun sieht er wieder viele Sterne.

Doch dran ist schuld nur die Laterne,

die in dieser Nacht nicht brannte,

wo Meier flott dagegenrannte.

Sein Feierfreund kam kurz darauf

und fiel auch noch auf Meier drauf.

So liegen sie im Suff vereint,

wie schön, dass nun der Mond erscheint.
