"To the moon?"
"Yes to the moon"
"I barely-blinked!"
"Well im fast"
I smiled and winked
"Now gather round,
and listen close
i'll only say it once,
i dont like to boast!"
"Now i flew so high
i flew so fast
i was flying faster than shooting stars!"
"Shooting stars! In out-of-space?"
"Yes shooting stars"
"But how could you breath?"
"I held my breath"
"For all that time! I barely belive?"
"Well i reached the moon"
"And what did you see?"
"I met a man"
"A man on the moon!
But what does he eat?"
"Why custard of course!
Cheese gives him bad dreams!"
"Custard not cheese!
Bad dreams on the moon!
But were does he sleep?"
"He lays in a hammock
he hangs it from hooks"
"He lays in a hammock!
And his hands are of hooks?"
"His hands are of hooks?"
"He's there to write books!
With hands that are hooks?
And he lays in a hammock!
Bad dreams on the moon?
And he eats custard not cheese as it gives
him bad dreams!
I barely belive?"
I sigh and i smile
and look at the moon
"I can see him from here,
the man in the moon,
i took him a gift,
i gave him a spoon,
i told you i did
i've been to the moon!
"You took him a spoon?
Take me to the moon!"
"To the moon?"
"To the moon!
I WANT TO GO TO THE MOON!"
"Well hold on to your hat,
as we're gunna fly fast,
Faster than stars
fAster than cars
faSter than plans
fasTer than trains
fastEr than parrots
fasteR than Words!
"WAIT! faster than a parrot?
Is the man on the moon a PIRATE!
he does have hands that are hooks
and he's there to write books
and he lays in a hammock
and you TOOK him a spoon?
Mabey he's buried some GOLD!"
"Gold on the moon
he's useing my spoon to dig on the moon?
You must be Mad!". ;)

When reading try and use a young awinspired voice for the child asking like "To the MOON!"
Unless your as dry as toast?
