By James Duncan (with thanks and apologies to Edward Lear)

The Owl and the Pussycat, lacking in goods
Thought that honey (and money) grew on trees in the woods
Impatient for fortune, blind with devotion,
They agreed on an ominous, dangerous notion.

Yes Feline and Fowl were set for a mission
Not feeling regret or a hint of contrition.
They were fixing to join the criminal ranks
