Butter Moon Breakfast


This is the book cover of a nonsense rhyme book I recently made. Personal project, but for college submission!

Noon Moon

Up rose the moon,
At half past noon,
And scattered the sand on the trees.
The birds plunged deep,
And soon fell asleep,
Under the bright red sea.

(Don't know what to name this one.)

She said she'll sing in black and white,
And give the moon a kiss.
She said she'd swallow all the night,
And give her lunch a miss.
She heard the fishes calling her,
To the sea of the sky.
She heard the fishes calling her,
But she wouldn't reply.

Green Cow

"How,"
Said the cow,
"Did I turn green?
Maybe it was seaspray,
Or green sun rays.
Did I sleep in green hay?
Maybe the days in May are always green.
Green, green, green."

Tongue Crow

She balanced a crow upon her tongue,
It took a while but soon it was done,
Its feathers got stuck up her nose,
Just the beginning to the rest of her woes,
Its tail went right down her throat,
She wished she hadn't eaten her oats,
For soon she started to gag,
Her eyes, her cheeks, began to sag.
She would've bonked it with a mace,
If she didn't have the crow for a face!

Butterbus

Along trundled the Butterbus,
It made no noise,
It made no fuss.
It took a while to get there from here,
But get it did, from mouth to ear.

Balloon Bee

A bee swallowed a balloon,
And soon got into a gloom,
She said to herself,
While looking over the shelf,
"I could've been blown to the moon!"
