With Sincere Apologies To Edward Lear

K Morris - Poet

The owl and the pussycat went to sea, in a leaky, cardboard boat.

They had lost all their money

To a girl called Honey

Along with a £5 note.

The owl looked up to the stars above

And sang to a small guitar

“Oh beautiful pussy, oh pussy my love

I wonder where we are?

We are? We are?

I wonder where we are?”

With a sorrowful sigh

The pussy made reply:

“Owl,

You are a stupid old fowl!

Make no mistake

We

Are not at sea

But on a lake!

Oh what a stupid old fowl you are

You are

You are...
