Hey Diddle Diddle
The dish and the spoon were a logical couple,
Although they ran away to avoid any trouble,
The trouble all started with a: “Hey, Diddle, Diddle”,
And a laughing dog that apparently was little,
Laughing hysterically because of the cow,
Who unexpectedly jumped over the moon, somehow,
Oh, and don’t forget the cat and the fiddle,
This silly nursery rhyme is quite a riddle,
It all started with a feline playing a stringed instrument,
Which conjures up a strange predicament,
Published in 1587 in English literature,
These magical words must have some allure,
The nursery rhymes we all learned as a child,
You’ll have to admit, are pretty wild!
