The Parody of Owl and Jaguar Gone Wrong #Day26 #NaPoWriMo

The Owl and the Jaguar
went to Sea
in a beautiful pea-green bathtub

They took some wine
and plenty caviar
wrapped in newspaper and twine

Owl looked up to the 
star-spangled sky
and strummed on a Spanish guitar

"Oh lovely Jaggy, Oh Jaggy, my love
what a beautiful big cat you are.
You are,
You are!
What a lovely big cat you are!"

Jaguar said to the owl,
"You halfwit buffoon,
how charmingly sweet you love me--
Oh, let me serenade you."
He grabbed the strings that she carried.
"But first, let us eat the caviar," he roared.

So Owl unwrapped their meal 
with much flair and dance
by and by, they reached the land
where palm trees grow.

And there in a wood
a dumb-looking piggy did stare
but not for too long--
he shot out of there 
My gosh, how he ran.
He ran,he ran! 
Smart Pig.

Owl and Jaguar
went out to Sea
in a 
beautiful 
pea-green rowboat

They took plenty of wine
and beluga caviar
wrapped in 
newspaper
and twine

The owl looked up
at the evening stars
and strummed 
on the Spanish 
guitar

While Jaguar rowed
he marked with one eye
the silhouette 
of Owl 
from afar

Jag growled, Owl shy-smiled.

In turn, it came time
for Owl to row
so Jaguar could reboot
with a 
Cuban cigar

But Jag took the guitar
started a riddle song
that put Owl 
in a state of 
conundrum

'Twas so bizarre
Owl started to shake
when Jag was her 
longtime 
superstar

Owl tittered, Jag thunder-roared.

But she stomped her good foot
to shake off the scare
opened the wine
(with panache) 
like waitresses do
at Zanzibar

Famished to the point of being uncouth
pointing to Owl, the shooting star,
Jag directly got on 
with his wicked deed

Swiftly he danced to the light of the moon,
the moon,
the moon.
He danced and serenaded the moon. 

Then belching an indecorous yuk--
a snirtle here,
a snigger there
Jag rowed, replete
shouting to the stars, "Au revoir!"
