The Moon's the North Wind's Cooky (What the little girl said)
The Moon's the North Wind's cooky.He bites it, day by day,
Until there's but a rim of scraps,
That crumble all away.
The South Wind is a baker.
He kneads clouds in his den,
And bakes a crisp new moon that...greedy
North...Wind...eats...again!
