A nonsensical poem about an unlikely friendship between a wise owl and a mischievous pussycat who go on a journey together aboard a pea-green boat. They get married by a turkey who lives on a tree, and their wedding feast features dishes such as "mushrooms" and "sugar". The poem is a whimsical exploration of the absurdities of life and love.
