the owl and the pussy cat
rowed away for a year and a day
to the land where the bong trees grow
the owl got stoned and beached the boat
pussy my love found it hard to cope
stranded and cold without any coats
they sang by the light of the moon
a sad little desolate tune
eating sushi with a runcible spoon
o pussy my love
o heavens above
owl sang to a small guitar
forgive me my dear
once again i fear
the wedding is off
the ring has been lost
perhaps next year
we'll travel by car
I love it!! This is so creative and charming Rall! Made me smile ear to ear!!

ReplyDeleteLOL! "eating sushi with a runcible spoon" - great!
ReplyDeleteHow I remember this from my childhood (the orginal version I mean) but I still dont know what Bong trees look like.
ReplyDeleteLove your rendition of the boat and passengers.
ReplyDeleteI lost a ring to someplace in the bottom of a lake. It used to
mean a lot but by then I just wore it to scare others away.
I lost another ring, from my present wife of 48 years now, and
lamented that event, after a year plus i found it under a car seat.
We both were glad.
..
