Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

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!

Lindsay Laurie April 18, 2021 at 10:43 PM Hello Terry ... a really humorous verse indeed, and I hope the farmer doesn't call his wife a 'silly old moo' - thanks Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood April 19, 2021 at 11:46 AM Thanks Lindsay. Just fancied a change from ‘ and the sheep went baaah’. Terry
