Of Moon and Metaphor

I must register a complaint to all writers, including myself. Why do we insist on exhausting every possible moon metaphor and simile? So many writers are guilty of grasping for that one piece of figurative language that will describe the moon is some jaw-dropping way. Why are we writing about the moon? Why must it be described in every night scene? What is the lure? Robin Williams lampooned it best when he said, "The moon hangs low, like a testicle, in the sky." In reality, it is sometimes that ridiculous. And to what end?

Your homework assignment is to find a moon metaphor or simile and post it as a comment here. It will not be hard to do. I promise.
