Kanga, the roo <br />heard me reciting a rhyme <br />'Hey diddle diddle <br />the cat and the fiddle <br />the cow jumped over the moon.....' <br />Before i could finish the rhyme <br />like I've committed some kind of a crime, <br />Kanga bounced my direction; <br />Stood up tall <br />And caled; corection! ! ! ! ! <br />' Who jumped over the moon? ' <br />She presided seating back on her tail <br />Then, with a chackle and a giggle <br />started laughing, with a belly laughter, <br />and that incidant could change this rhyme for ever after..... <br />Kanga reached in her deep pocket <br />pulled out a hanky, whipping her eyes socket <br />asking again <br />'Who jumped over the moon? ' <br />'I don't see how ' <br />(she was pointing at a cow) <br />'A fat cow......... <br />could jump over the moon <br />I don't believe <br />she could repeat that any time soon! <br />In fact, <br />the truth is' -Kanga got serious <br />' If you want to know <br />if you are curious. <br />It was my friend, Skippy the roo, <br />as he was escaping from a zoo <br />from bad conditions in China. <br />He jumped over the moon <br />and caught the runaway dish and the spoon <br />He lipped over, and <br />landed on an ocean liner. <br />Sailed across the seven sees <br />infested with flies and flies, <br />just to get back to Australia <br />to see the little boy <br />who laughed to see such fun <br />Here in the bush <br />were they used to roam and run <br />under the glorious Australian sun.'<br /><br />Milica Franchi De Luri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-jumped-over-the-moon/
