“Oh no! Mary, thee musn’t say that, for that is a falsehood; thee knows a cow
could never jump over the moon; but a cow may jump under it; so thee ought to
say—‘ The cow jumped wzder the moon.’” Yes,—

The cow jumped under the moon ;
The little dog laughed—

*‘Oh, Mary, stop. How can a little dog laugh? thee knows a little dog can’t
laugh. Thee ought to say—‘ The little dog darked’”—

To see the sport,
And the dish ran after the spoon—

‘*Stop, Mary, stop. A dish could never run after a spoon ; thee ought to know
that. Thee had better say—‘ And the caf ran after the spoon.’” So,—

Hey! diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped zzder the moon;
The little dog darked
To see the sport,
And the cat ran after the spoon.
