A Baboon On the Moon

[Written for my four year old great granddaughter who has developed an interest in the moon. Only after writing it did I discover already existing ’stuff’ called ‘A baboon on the moon’. Never mind... Who wants a Booker prize anyway?] [In UK bum is bottom] There’s a baboon on the moon And he’s got a shiny bum And if he wasn’t up there Bed time would be glum He isn’t on his own He’s got his sisters and his mum And when it’s getting dark They turn their backs toward the sun The the moon is made of rock Yet it glows up in the sky Which should be quite a shock Have you never wondered why When baboons stick their bottoms up Toward the setting sun The moon so brightly glows Because the sun shines off their bum

Unfortunately, due to lockdown, we haven’t shown her yet. I’ve made it into a little illustrated booklet for her. So we’ll wait and see. Thanks, Gershon. Terry

Thanks Tom. I rarely do kiddy stuff because my inner ‘fiend’ takes over and limbs and heads begin to fly. I was pleased to keep this one bloodless! Terry
