The Owl & The Pussycat
by Edward Lear (Public Domain)

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, oh 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
o let us be married, too long have we 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.
