Hymn: Blue Moon
Archdruid: Behold the Blue Moon!
All: Oooh!
Archdruid: The wondrous moon of blueness!
All: Oooh!
Archdruid: Blue is the moon and the moon is blue!
All: Oooh!
Charlii: But isn't it just a full moon?
Archdruid: No! It's a blue moon!
All: Oooh!
Charlii: So what's different about it?
Archdruid: Well, it's..... erm..... blue?
All: Oooh! Behold the blue moon!
Charlii: What colour is it?
All: Erm... bl...... white-ish?
Charlii: A blue moon is just a second full moon in a calendar month. Nothing special. Nothing unusual.
Archdruid: So you mean if the month started on a different day, the blue moon would be a totally different month - and nobody would think it was any different?
Charlii: Correct.
Archdruid: So what are we going to do with the Blue WKD, Blue Nun, Blueberry cider, blueberry muffins, Cordon Bleu cooking and blue cheese we were gonna celebrate with?
All: Have a blue moon party like we planned!
Archdruid: Behold the blue moon!
All: Oooh!
Charlii: Oh well. So much for logic and science.
All: Glass of 1970s-style Liebfraumilch?
Charlii: And also with you.
Hymn: Under the (blue) Moon of Love
Final Blessing
Archdruid: Peace be with blue.
All: And also with blue.
May I point out that (for Papists anyway) the new ICEL translation specifies "And with your spirit" rather than "And also with you".
ReplyDeleteI can quite see that it would give you a few problems in adapting it for a Blue Moon ceremony, though - as the only blue spirit I can think of is Bols.
Bombay gin? At least the bottle is blue - but the actual spirit isn't (appropriate perhaps)
