With mamaw and papaw babysitting
for the kids one night
Before their eyes they saw
the most tragic of sight
As they were all gazing
up at the starlit sky
And pretending into it
they would up and fly
‘Twas then that the moon
from out of it fell
Which left them standing there
aghast for just a spell
And so ’twas they decided
to sail down gumdrop river
To retrieve that fallen moon
which was but a sliver
When it was not far
this little troop had gone
Down the darkened waters
sailing on a swan
They did come to find
what they were searching for
And lifted up that sliver
of moon to sky restore
As the children still awake
all shouted out in glee
That they’d be the heroes
to go down in history
While mamaw and papaw smiled
at the children’s joyous glow
A memory for all time
e’re that they would know
As they turned the swan around
and headed back for home
They discussed of what adventures
over which the world to comb!
