NIFTY BUCKLES FOLKLORE (@NiftyBuckles1)

Hey diddle diddle, The cat and the fiddle, 🐈🎻 The cow jumped over the moon; 🐄🌛 The little dog laughed 🐶 To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon. 🍽️ A classic piece of English nonsense verse, printed c.1765 in Mother Goose’s Melody, with roots possibly older. Scholars like Iona Opie and Peter Opie agree… it’s simply joyful absurdity, no hidden code. It even gave us “over the moon” for pure delight ✨ #BookChatWeekly 📖🐈 #AbsurdWords #NurseryRhymes 🪿#HeyDiddleDiddle 🎻 #Dogs #Doggos 🐕 🎨 "High Diddle Diddle" illustrated by Frederick Richardson for the Holland edition of Mother Goose (1915)
