• Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut, oh so bright,
• Found a peanut last night, twinkling in the moonlight.
• Cracked it open, cracked it open, cracked it open, what a sight,
• Cracked it open last night, like a treasure we'd invite.
• It was rotten, it was rotten, it was rotten, oh dear fright,
• It was rotten last night and gave us quite a nasty bite.
• Ate it anyway, in the soft moonlight,
• Got sick, oh my, what a plight.
• Called the doctor, with all our might,
• The operation, made us feel alright.
• Couldn't save me, not without a fight,
• Went to Heaven, bathed in starlight.
• Met God, in His radiant light,
• Wouldn't take me, back to our Earthly site.
• Sent back home, under the twinkling starlight,
• Went out walking, and everything felt right.
• Had a nightmare, a spooky, ghostly sprite,
• Woke Up, safe and sound, in our bed so tight.

Explanation

This poem is about a fun and silly adventure involving a peanut. At first, the narrator finds a peanut and is excited about it. They crack it open, but to their surprise, it's rotten and not suitable to eat. Even though they know it's not good, they still try to eat it and end up getting sick.

The story takes a playful twist when the narrator imagines going to Heaven and meeting God, but God doesn't want to keep them there. So, they are sent back home.

In the end, it turns out that the entire adventure is just a dream (nightmare), and the narrator wakes up safely in their bed.

Moral for Kids

It also reminds us that sometimes our imagination can create funny and adventurous stories in our dreams, but in reality, we need to make safe and healthy choices. So, always check your food before eating it
