Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
How charmingly sweet you sing!
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
And sang to a small guitar,

Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
You are,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
They danced by the light of the moon,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
With a ring at the end of his nose,
So they took it away, and were married next day
His nose,
Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling

To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
They danced by the light of the moon.
What a beautiful Pussy you are!
O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
His nose,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
But what shall we do for a ring?
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
You are!
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
