The Owl and the Pussy-Cat

 

In the Stonefields quilt zitten een uiltje en een poes SAMEN in een BOOT!
Een gekke combinatie die, voor mij totaal onbekend,
uit een gedicht van
Edward Lear komen.
 

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 beautiful 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!
O 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.

 

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."

So they took it away, and were 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.

Pure ROMANTIEK in Stonefields!
Wat een ROMANTISCHE uil!

Leuk toch om dit even gelezen te hebben?
alvast veel plezier met maand twee,
volgens mij zit die er nu weer aan te komen!
Hoe leuk is dat?

Wat denk je zou Rocco, het konijn, ook op de bruiloft zijn geweest?

 

Fijne maandag allemaal,

Tot blogs,
