The Owl and the Pussy-Cat 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,
'Oh lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are'. (The Owl and the Pussy-Cat 1871)
Edward Lear quote Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a Sieve.
Edward Lear quote He has gone to fish, for his Aunt Jobliska's
Runcible Cat with crimson whiskers!
Edward Lear quote Who, or why, or which, or what,
Is the Akhond of Swat?
