Line 1:

''"The Owl and the Pussycat"'' is a famous nonsense poem by [[Edward Lear]], first published in 1871. Its most notable historical feature is the introduction of the [[runcible spoon]].

The poem has been set to music and animated many times, and was the central focus for a 1968 children's musical play about Lear's nonsense poems. The title was borrowed for an unrelated [[Broadway]] [[musical]] and subsequent 1970 movie starring [[Barbara Streisand]] and [[George Segal]].

Portions of an unfinished sequel, ''"The Children of the Owl and the Pussycat,"'' were first published posthumously in 1938.
