Do any of the Cuties know where I can obtain an "Owl and the Pussycat" design from. I would just love to put this on a T shirt for my GD. Thank you in advance. Sarah.

Hello Sarah,
is this a special design like "Cat with the hat"? A film/TV-series? Cartoon?

Hi Bettina! Well, I'm pretty sure I've seen it animated, but as a single cartoon. Its a very old poem that might have been included in Mother Goose or other children oriented poem books.

Hi Bettina, this is a very famous poem by Edward Lear.
The Owl and the Pussycat 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."
Love Chris (P.S. the picture usually consists sof an Owl and a Pussycat in a peapod which is their green boat)

Sorry Bettina, I originally put this under your post, but when I went to post it - a bad read came up! Anyway you get the gist of what the poem is about.
Thank you Chris.
I just put it in google and found many different nice pictures for this story. I never heard of it before (and I was in the specialised course english :o).

Chris, I have always loved this poem. My GD (coming up for 3 in Nov, knows this almost word for word. Sorry for boasting but you know what we are when it comes to GC!!!!
Oh Chris... thank you so much for adding the poem! It's one of my childhood favorites. And the design is awesome!

Sarah this is what I really love here: You always learn new things :o)
I often saw this set at bunnycup but most of this poems and limericks are not known here: It's the problem with translation: You can't do it word for word cause it did not make sense after all. Pretty sure that we have some stories that are just known here in Europe.
