Riddles

A light-hearted poem explaining an eclipse.

Riddle me this
And ask me that.
How is a fiddle
Played by a cat?

How does a cow
jump over the moon?
How does it make
young lovers swoon?

Astronomers tell us
'Bout the eclipse
Caused by planets
Stars and ships.

Science isn't always right
So don't believe it's real
That man in the moon above
Just forgot to pay his bill!

I guess that's more less what happened back in the dark ages, when they sacrificed virgins to bring the moon back. Nowadays, I sacrifice a pizza when the moon goes missing. Brings it back every time, too! You should "promote" some of these cool poems to get them read more.

Haha! That is so funny, Sam! As soon as all my craft fairs are over, I plan on doing a lot more viewing and "promoting". (I assume by that you mean sending Read Requests?) I'm glad you think this one is cool!

Nicely done Melissa. I always wondered as a child how the big bad wolf and the little pigs not only spoke, but spoke in perfect English, that was a bit of luck, wasn't it :)

[MelissaAndres]

Thank you, alifeacoustic! I suppose they had all been studying in secret?? We may have to ask Little Bo Peep and Little Miss Muffet what the deal is! :)

Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet, eating her curds and weigh.
When she put in her thumb and pulled out a typewriter, stating "what the hell's that doing in my tea? :)
Little Jack horner, sat in a corner, and got one seriously disfigured a*s. :)

Hahaha! Alifeacoustic, you are wonderfully weird! :)
