Edward Lear was an English poet and he was famous for his nonsense poem. He wrote this poem for his 3-year-old daughter. So the words are simple and the tone is humorous. This poem is about the love between the owl and the pussy cat. There are four animals in this poem- an owl, a cat, a pig and a turkey and the owl is the the main male character. The cat is the main female character. They are a couple who is going to get married. The pig sells his ring for one shilling to the couple. The turkey witnesses their marriage. In the end, they live a happy life together. I like this poem so much because it makes me smile. I feel happiness in this poem.
In this poem, there is a vocabulary, "runcible", is invited by Lear. This term appeared in his poem many times.
The pictures in this book are colorful vivid and I really like them.
There is a video which shows the rhythm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMim85chZN8&nohtml5=False
