The Flying Festoon
_I'm going to ride on the flying festoon._
_I'll jump on his back, and I'll whistle a tune,_
_And we'll fly to the outermost tip of the moon,_
_The flying festoon and I._
_We're taking some crackers, a ball, and a prune._
_We're leaving this evening, precisely at noon._
_Yes, I'm going to ride on the flying festoon._
_(Just as soon as he learns how to fly.)_ 😃
