Description 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,
"0 lovely Pussy, 0 Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

by: Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888)

It's a nice boat. But I don't think I'd like to go to sea in it

Beautiful shot, really made my day this one
