The Owl and the Pussy-Cat

TheOwl and the Pussy-Cat
-Edward Lear

The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to the sea

In a beautiful pea- green boat,

They took some honey and plenty of money;

Wrapped up in five-pound note.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,

And sand to a small guitar ,

"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,

What a beautiful ppussy you are,

You are,

You are!

What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!

How charmingly sweet yuo sing!

O let us be married! too long we have tarried:

Bot what shall we do for a ring?"

The sailed away for a year and a day,

To the land where the Bong-trees grow,

And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,

With a ring at the end of his nose,

His nose,

His nose,

With a ring at the end of his nose.

"Dear Pig, aer you willing to sell for one shilling

Your ring?" Sail the Piggy, " will."

So the took it away, and were married the next day

By the Turkey who lives on the hill.

They dinned on mince, and slices of quince,

Which they ate with a runcible spoon;

And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,

They danced by the light of the moon,

The moon,

The moon,

They danced by the light of the moon.
