Poem[edit | edit source]

I[edit | edit source]

The Owl and the Tabby[1] Cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat, (They had, however, been planning this holiday, and as such, had filled out all the required Health & Safety forms, just as you should do, kids!)
They took some healthy, nutritious snacks[2], and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note (Which was in turn wrapped safely in an envelope, sealed in a waterproof wallet, which had their names and contact details on it)[3]
The Owl looked up to the stars above, whilst still regaining complete control of the boat,
And sang to a small guitar,
"O lovely Tabby, O Tabby, my love,
What a beautiful Tabby you are,
You are, You are!
What a beautiful Tabby you are! Not to say cats that aren't tabby aren't beautiful. They are just as beautiful, yet in my personal, non-representative opinion, I prefer you as a Tabby, though I admit wholeheartedly that physical looks are not everything. [4]

II[edit | edit source]

Tabby said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! Too long we have tarried: Though, now I think of it of course, that was necessary in order for us to reach the age where parental consent for marriage is not a requirement. [5]And besides, as the Family Planning Clinic says, it is always sensible to have a trial period before rushing into things without due preparation.
But what shall we do for a ring?"[6]
They sailed away, for a year and a day, which was only possible because they had put in the requisite planning beforehand, completed risk assessments and sought the advice of a professional navigator, nutritionist, ship captain and coastguard. [7]
To the land where the fictional Bong-tree[8] grows.
And there in a wood a pink mammal [9] stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose, His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.


III[edit | edit source]

"Dear Pink Mammal, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Pink Mammal, "I will."..consult my accounts and thus decide whether this is a worthy sale, and will not proceed if I feel coerced, however, in this instance I feel it is okay.
So they took it away, and were married next day (after disinfecting the ring, of course, using government approved hand-washing technique!)
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.[10]
They dined on brown bread[11], and slices of quince, enough to fill three of their five-a-day
Which they ate with a runcible spoon[12]
And paw in wing[13], on the edge of the sand, yet still close enough to shore to be able to hail for a rescue if needed
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon, The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.
