Dear Friends1
Hey diddle diddle myself and the fiddle. The cow jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such a sport and the dish ran away with the spoon.2
I’m Jesus. The ringleader of the huge mistake. Yes, I am a cat, and I do play the fiddle, but what’s the big deal? I’I have seen humans do it so why can’t I?3
The cow, her name is Betsy, actually did jump over the moon. Not really over the moon, but sort of up to it, then down. She really didn't’t jump either. Can you imagine a 300-pound cow just launching herself over the moon? That’s where the dog comes in, Rover, but first, Betsy didn't’t jump over. She landed on the moon first. Then, since she is scared of heights, the fork ran up to get her and they ended up falling off.4
Rover is a maniac. He had crazy ideas that if you put a cow, Betsy, in a canon, you could shoot it to the moon. So, being the oldest, I had to supervise so he, and Betsy, didn't’t get hurt. Everyone knows cow are... a little slow, so she gladly got into the canon for a reward of hay. I’m not saying Rover is stupid, but he decided to do this the night that he didn't’t have his glasses, he only needs them for reading, and I wasn't’t watching when he put way too much gunpowder in. He blasted that cow to the moon, and took of all her fur near her back-side! So of course he was laughing when he saw her go flying.5
You already know how the fork went to go get her. Well, the spoon is his daughter, and he’s a very religious fork and he wouldn't’t let Margaret, the spoon, go on a date with any boy. No matter what. Jake, the dish, was her secret boyfriend. She would tell her father that she was going to Bible study, but really be running off with Jake. So when he felt to go get Betsy, Jake, and Margaret wen to the movies. They broke up because Jake didn't’t want to pay for her to get into the movie, so she went on home.6
So, that’s my story! If you’re still wondering why I play that fiddle, I guess I’ll answer you. I’m the only moneymaker in the house. I have my own band. The Jesus Experience. Catchy, huh? Well, I guess that I must be leaving you now, but I hope you remember the next time you are thinking about a cow and the moon that you remember that it wasn't her fault, that all dogs are psychotic and that the fork was there but he wasn't there. Understand? Good Bye! Jesus7

That was funny, and very original. You really took the concept and ran with it. I hope that your teacher gave you a good grade on it. It was cute. What possessed you to call the cat Jesus? That was funny, and the band name made me laugh. Great writing, you have talent and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

What an interesting little story. I like stuff like this. It can explain a lot in its own little way. It is fun to make up stories about poems like that. Keep up the good work.

I'm interested to know what grade you got on this. I didn't see any mistakes other than "Rover" neglected a capital "r" once, but that's not a big deal. All in all, a nicely written and original take on Hey Diddle Diddle. (Better than Tolkein, at least.) -
I don't know why i put fish as the border... i always thought the story needed some fish in it. he he he. *smile*
