File:The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear

Description
Here is an off-the-cuff recitation of "The Owl and the Pussycat" by Edward Lear (1812-1888.) It is well-know and perhaps well-loved, but my limited observations through the years have shown him uninteresting. This poem clearly shows him the great grand-daddy of Seuss, Silverstein, and others.

I've made this for my grandchildren, but perhaps it will encourage others to do better and read more to their children and grandchildren.
