Solution
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.'
