The Owl and the Pussycat went out to sea
in a beautiful pea- green boat…….
They chose not to tarry,
found a nose-ring, to marry
by the light of the moon,
on a silvery sand dune,
wave a festive balloon,
and a blinged up festoon.
By the cold light of day,
Puss pouted, ‘you’re a dull grey!
With this nose-ring
and a festoon of bling,
you led me astray!
But I will not stay.
I could be playing croquet,
watching cabaret,
sipping cabarnet,
slurping sorbet!’
Owl yelped and yowled.
Puss skulked and scowled.
‘Give it a year,’ he prayed.
She was not swayed.
She prowled, with their honey
and all their money,
including their five-pound note,
back to the pea-green boat.
Thus singly she sailed away
to the neon-bright Bongh-Tree Bay.
