That's A More. . .

(We bet you can guess to what tune this is sung!)

When you swim in the sea and an eel bites your knee. . .
   That's a moray!

When your boat hits the dock and it's stuck like a lock. . .
   That's a mooring!

When your printing plate dots make those weird looking spots. . .
   That's a moiré!

When the rocks and stones spread from the glacier's cold bed. . .
   That's a moraine!

When the gallinule hoots 'mongst the reeds and green shoots. . .
   That's a moorhen!

When the sun shines all day, and it won't go away. . .
   That's some more rays!

When the weather stays wet, you will hear, you can bet. . .
   "That's some more rain!"

When your dinner guest Ray cleans his plate then you say. . .
   "Have some more, Ray!

We never can remember which book of Spider Robinson's it is that has a bunch of these in it.
