The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward
Lear
The Owl and the Pussycat 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, What a beautiful Pussy you are."
Pussy said to the
Owl "You elegant fowl, How charmingly sweet you sing. O 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. 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 in the light of the moon, the moon. They
danced in the light of the moon.
