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,

"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,

What a beautful 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!

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 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.

So they took it away, and 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.

Lucas is doing all things The Owl and Pussycat at school. He has to draw them, learn the rhyme etc.... So I decided to make him an Owl and Pussy cat in a bag especially for his class to use when learning the rhyme. I plan to make up more of these to sell at in my Folksy and Etsy shops. I got the idea from my 3 babushkas in a bag -

I have also made use of this fantastic book that I picked up at a charity shop when Lucas was tiny. I pretended to Dan that it was for him but I bought it for the Illustrations (by William Wiesner - who I must find out more about and will share when I do), it is nice that it has come in handy in another way.

Thanks for reading,
