The Trump and the Pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat
They took some honey, and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Trump looked up to the stars above
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are, you are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'
Pussy said to the Trump, 'You elegant lump,
How charmingly sweet you sing!
Oh, let us be married; too long we have tarried,
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the bong-tree grows;
And there in the wood, a Piggy-Pence stood,
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose, his nose
With a ring at the end of his nose.
Trump gave Puss a hug, yanks Pence with a tug
And the Piggy froze, offering the ring.
So soon they were wed
But Pussy in bed, cried
'There's snot on this Piggy-Pence thing."
---Edward Lear, 1812-1888
