Over the Moon

Hey diddle diddle I don’t play the fiddle But I do love to tinkle the keys I play them with ease Will you sing along, please? The classics or a hip hop rock tune But don’t get me wrong My kids strum along And the vibrations will shake up a room The guys in my house Shut their ears to my Strauss While guitars knock the socks off the gloom One plays the drums, the whole neighborhood hums Though it might bring the cops on the run Our little dog laughs To hear such a blast As our tunes travel over the moon ---- For Francine's contest "Tell Us Something We Don't Know"
