George hurried home for a nooner
When he was eclipsed by a lunar
Missing his mark
There in the dark
Poor George instead faced a mooner

Hi Sam,
I like four of the lines very much but don't know what you mean by "lunar." Is it possible for the moon to eclipse the sun at noon? I thought that the moon was on the opposite side of the world at noon.

I would add a beat to the last line - you could do so easily with "Georgie".
Fun read!

The intent was to rhyme with nooner, nothing more. It's a limerick.
