Owl and Pussy Book Reading

Owen offers a dramatic reading of the classic children's book "Owl and Pussy." We promise that no host of a DadLabs show would ever go for an easy joke at the expense of a children's book. Except maybe Owen. Need we say this isn't really for kids?

Papa’s going to make some money. Well hello, it’s good to see you again here in the reading nook. Would you like to hear a story? Of course you would, why else would you be here? Well today, we got a great one called the Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear and Louis Voss. Let's begin. The owl and the pussycat went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat. Be careful, don’t fall in pussy. No one wants a wet slopping pussy. They took some honey and plenty of money wrapped in a 5 pound mint. Owl is smart, you got to have money if you want pussy. The owl looks up at the stars above and send to a small guitar. Oh lovely pussy, oh pussy my love, what a beautiful pussy you are. You are who you are, what a beautiful pussy you are. And you can see how much pussy’s enjoying it. Pussy said to owl, you elegant fowl how charmingly sweet you sing. Ooh, let's us be merry, to long we have tarried. But what shall we do for a ring? Pussy wants a ring. They sailed for a year and a day, they went all over the place. Here pussy hatches something, it happens. To the land where the bong tree grows. I've been to that land lots of times. Oh and look, pussy can see that this is going to be a new favorite island. And there in the wood a piggy wig stood with a ring at that end of its nose. His nose, his nose, with the ring at the end of his nose. So it won't be a kosher wedding. Here pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling your ring? Said the piggy, I will. So they took it away and were married next day by the turkey who lives on a hill. They dined on mince and spices of quince which they ate with a roosable spoon, spoon that double ended darts. Pussy likes that. And hand in hand on the edge of the sand, they dance by the light of the moon. The moon, the moon, they dance by the light of the moon. Careful not to fall down, nobody likes sand on their pussy. The end.
