The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea <br />In a beautiful pea green boat, <br />They took some honey, and plenty of money, <br />Wrapped up in a five pound note. <br />The Owl looked up to the stars above, <br />And sang to a small guitar, <br />'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, <br />What a beautiful Pussy you are, <br />You are, <br />You are! <br />What a beautiful Pussy you are!' <br /> <br />Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl! <br />How charmingly sweet you sing! <br />O let us be married! too long we have tarried: <br />But what shall we do for a ring?' <br />They sailed away, for a year and a day, <br />To the land where the Bong-tree grows <br />And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood <br />With a ring at the end of his nose, <br />His nose, <br />His nose, <br />With a ring at the end of his nose. <br /> <br />'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling <br />Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.' <br />So they took it away, and were married next day <br />By the Turkey who lives on the hill. <br />They dined on mince, and slices of quince, <br />Which they ate with a runcible spoon; <br />And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, <br />They danced by the light of the moon, <br />The moon, <br />The moon, <br />They danced by the light of the moon.<br /><br />Edward Lear<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-owl-and-the-pussy-cat/
