Open the rhyme

Intro

Silver moon fell from the wall.
Four curved pieces made the fall.

Verse 1

Big to small made shapes look wrong.
Punched-star dots could lead along.
Turn the pieces, line the stars.
Torn edges met without a scar.

Chorus

Rotate, flip, and overlap.
Tiny marks can make a map.
If a puzzle will not sit,
Try another way to fit.

Verse 2

Flip one piece: blue paint appeared.
Fold a pocket, smooth and clear.
Place the little paper owl.
Round moon curve was perfect now.

Final Chorus

Tape behind and check each clue.
Stars and blue mark showed it true.
Turn and flip before you say,
“This small piece won't fit this way.”
