New Moon a-comin'

I'm not sure what's got into the Gibbon Moon people this last week.  Obviously they always get a bit nervous as the moon wanes, but they're spending quite a lot of time outside howling at what's left of it this month.  For whatever reason they seem to think it's not coming back this time.   We tried to get the reason and a few of them are suggesting that it's Alistair Darling's fault.  A few of them even claiming that, with those eyebrows, he may actually be the Moon Gibbon.  Unlikely we reckon.  How would Darling have time to muck up the country that badly if he were the Moon Gibbon?

In an attempt to calm them down we're piping lemon balm-scented steam into the Gibbon Hut during the hours of daylight, when they tend to sleep off all the early mornings.  But so far there's no sign of anyone relaxing just yet, so we're going to have to try the hard stuff.  Lavendar.
