Moon Launch

Too wet To play Read day Today Good book Get hooked Minds stray Away Sweet tune Sung soon Cow, moon, Fork, spoon Gat knew: Jump too Then Gat Tells Bat "Oh, man! Bad plan! Risk flirt, Get hurt!" Nut sling? Stretch string? "Like that!", Says Bat Same gig, Just big Slingshot Real taut Juno Let go To sky! “You’ll die!” In air, Up there! Miss trees? Oh, please! Moon sought, Branch caught In trees: Live bees! Got stung, Then hung Tree limb Saved him Gat now Had cow! "Dumb Bat, Knew that!" Survives, Eight lives Homebound On ground New tune No moon!

So Gat and Bat have about 7 long-form limericks, perhaps 70 verses or so, and a footle to go with each. We're building a collection of stories, that is, my grandchildren and I are. Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed this!
