The Elkridge Hollerer: Someone is eating the moon

Someone is eating the moon
eating the moon with a spoon
with a spoon, O! too soon
O! too soon is noon to croon
is noon to croon of Dune
Of Dune the moon is Maud'Dib
"Tell us of your home world, Usul"
Then you can have some streusel
I made it in the stiech, so I'll get rich
which is why I sigh, "my guy: bye bye eye (in book 2, boo-hoo)"
which rhymes
Oh obtrusive rhymes!
only made worse by rhyming the word with itself
or not rhyming at all.

Anyhow, I read that book when I was a kid, too.
I liked it.
"Too late or still too soon too soon to make lots of bad love and there's no time for sorrow. Run around, run around with a hole in your head 'til tomorrow."
