Once upon a time in a land of dreams On this itty bitty pea green boat There sat a little kitten Who was really rather smitten With an owl in a grey white coat The cat was rich in gratitude For the owl that made him smile The bird had eyes for which to Di Ana say with no denial The Pussy said honey well I have no money But I’ll give you every single star The Owl said fine that the sea’s our wine And she played on her guitar O Kitty, O Kitty You are really quite witty But your fleas have got to go If it’s not an itch You have me in a stitch Don’t make me heave and ho You know you are my friend dear cat And to which I do feel fond But we have many miles to sail still yet As I live across this pond Oh yes dear Owl you magnificent fowl How I thank you for this lift You know I can’t swim And my brain is quite dim So let’s enjoy our lovely drift I do not play an instrument But for you I’ll try to sing So close your ears the notes I hit Might make your poor ears sting O Owl O Owl Can you hear me growl I am really a lion at heart You brighten up my darkest night And help my day to start But ‘fore it all is said and done Aboard this floating swoon Let’s dance by the night Of the moon Of the moon Let’s dance by the light of the moon For Diana, for always being there. Freedom of expression is our, write. [This message has been edited by Richy (07-05-2008 06:13 PM).] |

Rich I did so much enjoy your poem, It took me back to my favourite nursery rhyme when I was a child, 'The Owl and The Pussy Cat,' and it certainly gave me a big smile. It also brought another one back that I much enjoyed as a child. 'The Little Pig,' The thunder roared and the lightning flashed And the gates of heaven were shaken The little pig rolled up his tail And ran to save his bacon. Have a great day my friend. Lindsay |

Laughing and loving this... and especially love that it's for Diana... Diana, you deserve it and thank goodness fine writers like Richy can put it into words. Just one of your many gifts in the area of writing Richy, is to make the people you appreciate, feel appreciated. Thank you for that - it's nice to see in a world where kindness often goes unnoticed.
