'The Owl and the Pussy-Cat' by born 1812
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.

Love Walrus and I also love the Owl and the Pussycat, which was later turned into several beautifully illustrated books. All of my moon illustrations stem from the Owl and Pussycat and The Cow Jumped Over the Moon.
