The Owl and the Pussycat - Edward Lear
The Owl and the Pussycat went to see 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 the stars above and sang to a small guitar,
"Oh, lovely Pussy! Oh Pussy, my love, what a beautiful pussy you are,
you are,
you are,
What a beautiful pussy you are."
The cat said to the owl, "You elegent 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 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, 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 lived on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince, which they ate with a runcible spoon,
And hand in hand, by 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.
