The Dish and the Spoon

As I was reading Hey Diddle Diddle the other night, I decided to interpret it.

Hey Diddle Diddle
The cat and the fiddle.


Diddle represents people. The commonfolk.
The fiddle is an instrument of the devil, so the cat represents Satan calling to the common people with "Hey you! Listen to me!"

The cow jumped over the moon.

A cow is an animal which provides meat and milk and is not known for being able to jump much at all. Jumping over the moon is more like orbiting the moon. So, I think this is a metaphor of Galileo. And, taking the sustenance of the people and allowing it to leave earth to possibly never come back is a major risk.

The little dog laughed
To see such sport


The little dog is the church who rejected Galileo's theories. Because little dogs or puppies are so appealling to people, this had a tremendous effect on the masses.

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

The dish and the spoon represent high society, who never really care about the significance of major events. They are too busy involved with affairs and dining out.

"Diddle Diddle" = the sheep of the American People

"The cat and the fiddle" = take a look at this distraction over here

"The cow jumped over the moon" = The improbability of the government properly running our health care system or any business for that matter.

"The little dog" = hardcore socialist liberals like BHO

"sport" = fundamentally changing our union

"The dish ran away with the spoon" = dish represents all the lowlife leeching cretins that will suck the life out of this country as they take the supposed silver "spoons" out of the mouths of middle class america so they can sit on their bankruptcy-paid for sofa in their section 8 housing eating their free cheese clogging their arteries to get free health care.

Don't get me started lately...
