The owl and the pussycat by Edward Lear illustrated by Gwen Fulton. The owl and the pussycat went to sea in a beautiful peagrine 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. Oh lovely pussy, I'll 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. 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 bonn tree grows. And there in the wood a piggy wigs stood with a ring at the end of his nose, his nose with the ring at the end of his nose. Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling your ring so the piggy I will? So they took it away and were married next day by the turkey who lives on a hill. They dined on mints and slices of quince which they ate with a roncable spoon. And hand in hand on the edge of the sand they danced by the light of the moon, the moon. They danced by the light of the moon. And that's the end of the story.
