“Listen my children and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.” Yeah, when I was a kid, that poem was taught to us as true history. Found out years later it’s 99% hogwash. Great literature, bad history.
Try upstaging the whatever animal it was on the fiddle. That would be easier. Was it a cat that played the fiddle in that nursery rhyme, or a dog? My mind is blanking on it.
When he wrote “The Fellowship of the Ring” there was a scene where Frodo sang a much longer version of “Hay Diddle Diddle”, it was in the inn scene where they met Strider.

The cow was standing on the moon, and simply jumped to a spot a few feet away.

The cow made its jump sooner after moonrise.

She could also try to use the moon to power her Waterbending. Don’t want those upstarts at the Water Tribe to upstage her either.

If only more people were as smart as Phoebe, and didn’t get tricked into thinking that sayings that rhymed were more believeable.

To jump over the moon, you just have to be in the right moo-d.

At least Marigold has tried.

I agree, Phoebe. Which is probably why my favourite (non) rhyme is:
Roses are red;Violets are blue;Most poems rhyme;This one doesn’t! :DNebulous Premium Member over 4 years ago
Cows have a 4 stage, methane fueled booster system.

Incidentally, I’ve been writing a poem a week for years, and most of my newer ones are based on facts. For example:
Dioxygen difluoride, which is also known as FOOF,
Is a really nasty substance. Now, in case you want the proof,
Know that elemental fluorine’s super risky to extract.
Many nineteenth-cent’ry chemists died attempting this, in fact.
But at seven hundred Celsius, it gets a whole lot worse,
As the fluorine will dissociate and atoms will disperse,
Which allows them to combine with all the oxygen around.
(I assume this isn’t something that in nature can be found.)
FOOF is stable at a hundred eighty Celsius below.
Any warmer and it soon reacts with anything to blow.
Even ice will catch on fire if not explode with help from FOOF.
That’s why almost no one makes it. If you do, you’ve made a goof.

That cow had to supply milk for the cheese on the moon.

The cow jumped over the moon, And what a feat was that, She won’t be doing it again soon,‘Cause she’s gotten way too fat.
There was also a Phineas and Ferb episode called Moon Farm about this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW4802HITYI

The cow jumped over the moon because the milkmaid’s hands were cold.

What the nursery rhyme doesn’t say is that the cow actually had an Apollo rocket! :)
