I’m Going to the Moon

“I’m going to the Moon,” said the little brown mouse.
So he packed his bag and left the house.
Then he climbed onto his bike
and sped off fast into the night.

He hadn’t gone far when he spotted a spider.
“Hey! Where are you going, little bike rider?”
“I’m going to the Moon,” said the little brown mouse.
“I’ve packed my bags and left my house.”

“Can I come too?” asked the big, black spider,
jumping up with the little bike rider.
“Yes, you can,” said the little brown mouse,
who had packed his bag and left his house.

They hadn’t gone far when they spotted a snail.
“Hey! What are you doing? You’re messing my trail.”
“We’re going to the Moon,” said the little brown mouse.
“I’ve packed my bags and left my house.”

“Can I come too?” asked the slippery snail,
slithering silently onto the mouse’s tail.
“Yes, you can,” said the little brown mouse,
who packed his bags and left his house.

“So you’re going to the Moon, is that a fact?”
hooted the owl from the tree where he sat.
“Yes,” said the spider, and the snail,
and the little brown mouse with the long, brown tail.

Then the great owl said from his tree up high,
“How are you going to get up in the sky?
You don’t have wings that can help you fly?”

“I’ve seen the Moon and it lives in the sea,”
said the little brown mouse, as sure as could be.
“What you have seen,” said the owl with a sigh,
“is only the reflection from the Moon shining down
from the sky.”
