There once was a pussycat and an owl.
They went to sea in a boat.
But wind, wave, the weather so foul
Left the boat without oars and the cat and the owl
Without fur, feather, flannel, or towel.
And when Nighttime swooped with
With a terrible howl
The boat refused to float.

There once was a pussycat and an owl.
They went to sea in a boat.
But wind, wave, the weather so foul
Left the boat without oars and the cat and the owl
Without fur, feather, flannel, or towel.
And when Nighttime swooped with
With a terrible howl
The boat refused to float.
