"The Owl and the Pussycat" is a nonsense poem by Edward Lear, first published during 1871 as part of his book ''Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany, and Alphabets''. Lear wrote the poem for a three-year-old girl, Janet Symonds, the daughter of Lear's friend poet John Addington Symonds and his wife Catherine Symonds. The term "runcible", used for the phrase "runcible spoon", was invented for the poem. ==First verse== :''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, :''O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, :''What a beautiful Pussy you are, :''You are, :''You are! :''What a beautiful Pussy you are!'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Owl and the Pussycat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
