The Owl and the Pussy-Cat
| BY Edward Lear – 1812-1888 | ||||||||
|
|
||||||||
| The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea | ||||||||
| In a beautiful pea-green boat: | ||||||||
| They took some honey, and plenty of money | ||||||||
| Wrapped up in a five-pound note. | ||||||||
| The Owl looked up to the stars above, | ||||||||
| And sang to a small guitar, | ||||||||
| “O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love, | ||||||||
| What a beautiful Pussy you are, | ||||||||
| You are, | ||||||||
| You are! | ||||||||
| What a beautiful Pussy you are!” | ||||||||
| Pussy said to the Owl, “You elegant fowl, | ||||||||
| How charmingly sweet you sing! | ||||||||
| Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried, | ||||||||
| But what shall we do for a ring?” | ||||||||
| They sailed away, for a year and a day, | ||||||||
| To the land where the bong-tree grows; | ||||||||
| 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, are you willing to sell for one shilling | ||||||||
| Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.” | ||||||||
| So they took it away, and were married next day | ||||||||
| By the turkey who lives on the hill. | ||||||||
| They dined 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. | ||||||||
