Blue Moon

As everyone knows

Who can touch their toes

The moon is round, and it smiles and glows

in the sky to keep us safe at night;

unless someone comes and takes a bite

and whoever it is, giant or troll

he leaves the moon with a bite sized hole

for as anyone who’s learnt their ABC’s

knows that the moon is made of cheese

and if you know that the dish ran away with the spoon

you’ll know that the cow jumped over the moon!

The question is not HOW, but WHY

Did Daisy cow want to leap so high?

Perhaps she’s checking out this story

She’s heard sometime on Jackanory?

What kind of tasty cheese will it be,

Gloucester, Wensleydale, Cheshire, Brie?

or faithful Cheddar, strong and true?

No, surprisingly, it’s Danish Blue!
