There once a boy, 

Who went out to the middle of the ocean,

With his father and grandfather,

In search of the moon.

 

The company of three waited for the moon to rise,

The father and grandfather passed the time by arguing,

And when the moon finally rose,

The father took out a long ladder,

And propped it up on the boat.

 

It was time for the boy to do his job,

He tied an anchor around himself,

And climbed all the way up the ladder until he reached the moon,

The boy fell onto the moon and set the anchor down.

 

The father and grandfather made their way up to the moon,

Which was covered in hundreds of little stars, 

They got out their brooms and started cleaning up the moon,

But they once again got distracted by another feud,

 

Suddenly, a massive shooting star broke up their feud,

It fell onto the moon and lodged itself in the ground,

The father and grandfather didn’t know what to do,

And once again, they started fighting.

 

But they failed to realized that while they were busy arguing,

The little boy had climbed up on the massive star,

He looked around for a good spot and with one big swing of a hammer,

He cracked the massive star into dozens of little stars!

 

The trio took up their brooms,

And swept the whole moon,

And when they got back down into their boat,

They looked at their masterpiece, a beautiful crescent moon.
