Rub a Dub Dub or Hey Diddle Diddle

I can’t really explain why, but the results of yesterday’s Democrat primaries reminded me of this animation from a 1979 Soviet/Russian animated film.

Faster! Higher! Stronger!

Maybe it’s because they both conjured thoughts of this nursery rhyme:

Hey, diddle, diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon;

The little dog laughed

To see such sport,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

    It’s a nonsense poem designed to please children with highly effective imaginary visuals.

But the poem for some reason reminded me of the old joke about a pilot returning from a mission but couldn’t locate his aircraft carrier. He circled the Naval formation below and because secure communication was required radioed “ Rub a dub dub, where’s my tub?” To which he received the following response: “Hey diddle diddle, it’s right in the middle.”

Rub a Dub Dub and Hey Diddle Diddle – I doubt either of them will make it over the moon

   

     I can’t explain any of this, I suspect it has something to do with Daylight Saving Time.

For nursery rhyme fans:

1945 Mother Goose--Carson Robison

[null and void]

As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose
So I turned her loose
She was screaming
And a foreign student said to me
Was it really true there elephants and lions too in Picadilly Circus?

“Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, this time I think we go up the middle. Hike!”
