The owl and the pussycat went to sea
In a knackered old wooden boat
They hadn't sailed more than a yard offshore
When sea water splashed her fur coat
'All I wanted', she complained to the owl
'Was to catch me a fish for my dinner
Now I'm soaking and sneezing and choking and wheezing
And I'll bet I look ten times thinner'
'Stop moaning', said the wise old owl
'This should be a grand day out
It's a sure bet we're going to get wet
But all you've done is preen and pout
And anyway puss, you've forgotten
We're only a yard offshore
I think that you oughta tiptoe through the water
And go home, I can't take anymore
But pussycat wouldn't shut up
And as the boat ran aground with a crunch
'I'm sure that you knew owls eat things like you'
With that, pussycat became lunch
The moral to this alternate fable
Is you can't have it all your own way
And never fall fowl of the wise old owl
Just remember he's a bird of prey...

I'd fancy the cat in a head on battle to the death, but the surprise swoop down from above will always work 😃🐦🐱🍴
Love it mate! Strange you should write it today - on the way to work this morning in the space of 5 minutes I nearly ran over first a cat and then an owl! Bloody owls just stand in the middle of the road and you have to swerve to miss them! 🐱
@TheCodsPollocks thanks jimmy, and that is a little strange. 😱 I'll try to write about something you're not likely to come across tomorrow. A giraffe maybe! 😂👍 🍻
