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

Gary is right. The nursery rhyme doesn't mention silver spoon...and it's just the moon (not the man in the moon.) But it is curious how it mentions cat, spoon and moon.
