Thread Name: Folklore: 'Fingernail Moon' metaphor
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Origin of 'Fingernail Moon' Metaphor
When my youngest daughter was 2 she called the little sliver of the moon a "cheshire cat moon". She got this from the Disney version of "Alice in Wonderland" (referring to the Cheshire Cat smiling in the dark).She's 10 now and every time we see the moon in that stage that's what we call it.I think you should re-name your song in her honor!!
