Artist Owl Lover & his Sacred Yellow Cat

 

Dorian McGowan, from his Owl & Pussycat by Edward Lear


A Diddly Poem for Dorian & Glover

O dear dear Cuddly marmoset
So fun to watch your mermen dance
Tumbling rumbling in the sea
Holding, boiling, roiling laughter bac
to keep the fish at bay

spitting suds and bubbles
Jumping up upon the cockleshells
Angry barnacles breathe back
striking out their feathery tongues
begging, yelling with watery spleen
"N'er err to dare come back!"
seething seashell venom
in twisted greenly crackly wrack

They sailed off in briny oyster shell
with oar of runcible spoon
And owl and cat in primate gowns
pretending dreams of silvery moons
laughing gulls and crooning loons

A day, a night, a wild cold tale
a chocolate bar of joy to share
in a champagne bath of glee
Invincible we think all hope
forever and a day!

"James" by Dorian McGowan
