Owl and the pussy cat.
Click on the web-link below:-
The Owl and the
Pussy-Cat
I
The Owl and the Pussy-cat 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 Owl 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!"
II
Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O 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 a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.
III
"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?" Said the Piggy, "I
will."
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible
spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.

P.S.
Surgery for an enlarged scrotum was the commonest surgical procedure in the Colombo General Hospital during our medical student days, in the early 1960s. I would like to recall two memorable stories related to Hydrocoels.
1. Prof Milroy Paul related how when he was serving with the Medical Corps in the British army in the Middle East, they would conduct clinics in tents. 'One day a man came into the tent pushing a covered wheel-barrow before him. When asked why he came into the tent he lifted the cloth covering the wheel barrow and his whole enlarged scrotum accommodated in the wheel barrow was displayed. This was how huge enlargement of scrotum s could get' said the Professor.
2. Dr. G.N. Perera FRCS was appointed the first Genito-Urinary Surgeon at the GH Colombo in the early 1960s. Surgery for hydrocoel was the 'bread and butter' surgery for the General Surgeons and filled their 'Private-Practice' bringing in the shekels. Dr. G.N. Perera started doing surgery for hydrocoeles. The General Surgeons objected to this intrusion into their field. They complained to the Director of Health Services who sent a letter asking why Dr G.N.Perera was operating on Hydrocoeles, which was a field for the General Surgeons. Dr. G.N.Perera replied ' Ever since I was a young boy, my Grand-mother told me that what was between my upper thighs was my genitals. Since I am designated a Genito-Urinary Surgeon I assert that this is my field'
