La lune et le fromage
Il y avait un bébé souris Qui pensait que la lune était une boule de fromage Chaque nuit, il sortait Et se demandait en regardant le ciel De jour en jour, la lune grandissait Donc il était heureux Un jour, c’est devenu plein Mais ensuite elle a commencé à diminuer Ensuite, un jour, il était […]
