The Moon-Faced Man

December 10, 2012 By Jay Brooks

man-in-the-moon
Here’s an odd artifact, a postcard from 1910, with a Holland, Michigan postmark, featuring an illustration of a moon-faced man and the following poem:

Bike the moon, my brethren dear,
I am “full” as full can be,
Full of grace and lager beer,
Full of food and sanctity!

    Wow, a good 70 years before Sir John Johns (Andy Partridge) penned “Bike Ride To The Moon”.
