Add snails and frogs

and the snout of a hog.

Add weasels and goats

and the muck from a moat.

Add snakes and lizards

and a turkey’s gizzard.

Add a puppy dog’s tails for joy

and the smile of every girl and boy.

Let simmer for a while and mix with a long wooden spoon

add stars for illumination and you get a joy as bright as the Harvest Moon.
