.the cat and the fiddle.

may i please take it upon myself to remind you of the cat and the fiddle? i'm asking politely, but there is really no room for objection in the arena of thoughts uninterrupted, completed, recorded. im afraid you probably don't remember that mother goose's melody featured an interesting rhyme in 1770. it opens with a line of gibberish: high diddle diddle; preposterous however little. and continues in nonsense about the cat and the fiddle. lest we forget that the cow jump'd over the moon while the little dog laugh'd to see such craft. all were distracted while the cow took a bow and the dish ran away with the spoon. high diddle diddle a riddle about a fiddle, a dog and a cow and a cat...fancy that- not quite. they just boggle my mind these nursery rhymes. and no one objects to the stolen spoon? don't you see that high diddle diddle is the culprit here? he hired the cat who mesmerized the town's people by playing a deceptive tune on his fiddle. when everyone went under he tricked them into believing that the cow could jump, that the cocoon was the moon, that the dog's bark was a laugh. the craft is quite misleading; it is not referring to cattle doing ballet, nor does it allude to musical cats. the hilarious craft is the scheme between the dish and the culprit! so, the moral of the story is that with the use of deception the spoon was stolen successfully . for the last 240 years this rhyme has rung through nurseries, planted into the minds of children. i don't know if this happens by chance or on purpose, but let it be known, that high diddle diddle and the dish have been laughing it up for two and a half centuries...and you wonder why the world is full of thieves. pffft.
