The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea,
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
Dashed dreams of acclamation, for their global navigation,
By riders tearing tails from their coat.

And assembled a guitar from IKEA,
“O sadly, Pussy, we’ve become quite the trend,
Next time we should patent our, idea, idea, idea,
Next time we should patent our idea.”
