"hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon.. The little dog laughed to see such a sport and the dish ran away with the spoon.."
It was not really written why the cow jumped over the moon.. no, I think it was needed so it can rhyme with the spoon.. teehee^-^ no here is why:
"In England's royal court, it was the custom to dub people with silly nicknames. Elizabeth I was often called “The Cat” from the way she fiddled with her Cabinet ministers as if they were mice. The cow, moon and her “lap-dog” were also characters in these court charades. The dish was Elizabeth’s serving lady and the spoon was, of course, the royal taster. When these last two secretly eloped, Elizabeth had them captured and confined to the Tower of London. Nobody fiddled with Elizabeth!"
Also:
Richard III's path to the throne of England :-
Hey diddle diddle,
‘diddle diddle’ was the way he got rid of Edward V
The cat and the fiddle,
William Catesby and the pre-contract
The cow jumped
a cow was the Neville emblem, and the Nevilles
over the moon;
eclipsed the Percys, whos emblem was a moon
The little dog laughed
Viscount Lovel was Richard's best friend, and his emblem was a dog
to see such fun,
And the dish ran
the dish was Richard himself
away with the spoon.
the annointing spoon at his coronation !
Oh well..^-^;

It has to be 'someone' . So why not a cow.?
If it was a rabbit , one would ask why a rabbit &
why not a chicken

Why, because it comes from the well-known 16th century nursery rhyme Hey diddle, diddle - IT was originally written as High, diddle, diddle and the cow could jump higher than some animals
