Let Us Be Married
Words by Edward Lear
Edward Lear's own drawing of the Owl and the Pussy-cat, with a curious pig nearby, says Congratulations on the front, and inside is the verse where the Pussy-cat asks, "let us be married; too long we have tarried." Lear was the master of nonsense, and his Book of Nonsense made the limerick famous. For a newly engaged or newly married couple.
