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.
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.
