उत्तर

The Man and The Moon.

The man  in the moon
came down too soon
To ask the way to Norwich.
He went by the South
And burnt his month
with eating cold pease porridge.

The man in the moon
Looked out of the moon,
And this is what he said,
'Tis time that
Now I am getting up,
All babies went to bed.'

Have you forgotten? Don't you know?

AND READ and READ, and then proceed
To READ some more. Great Scott! Gadzooks!
One-half of their lives was reading books!
The nursery shelves held books galore!
Books cluttered up the nursery floor!
And in the bedroom, by the bed,
More books were waiting to be read!
Such wondrous, fine, fantastic tales
Of dragons, gypsies, queens, and whales
And treasure isles, and distant shores
Where smugglers rowed with muffled oars,
And pirates wearing purple pants,
And sailing ships and elephants,
And cannibals crouching 'round the pot,
Stirring away at something hot.
(It smells so good, what can it be?
Good gracious, it's Penelope.)
