The Massive Spoon - Nursery Rhyme

Up in the sky a great big spoon Took a scoop out of the moon It took one more and pretty soon The moon went pop like a balloon The spoon reached down close to the ground And started stirring round and round It sounded like tornadoes sound And stirred up everything around Sheep and cows and cars and trucks Dogs and cats and pigs and ducks Span around and got mixed up And how they changed is how they stuck The pig went moo And the cow went quack And the sheepdog clapped his flippers And the sheep went oink And the hen went woof And fetched the farmer’s slippers And the duck went baaah And the mouse went neigh And the barn owl stole the tractor But what went eek He took a peek A mad velociraptor The farmer didn‘t have a clue He did not know quite what to do He asked his wife in case she knew And the farmer’s wife said MOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hello Terry ... a really humorous verse indeed, and I hope the farmer doesn't call his wife a 'silly old moo' - thanks Terry - Lindsay

Thanks Lindsay. Just fancied a change from ‘ and the sheep went baaah’. Terry
