I remember my Grandmother and Mother reading this to me and my brother back in the 1940s. Then I read it to my younger brother and sisters. Classics are great.
"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark

A classic, indeed.
It really is. I remember my dad reading it to us.
A wonderful, whimsical poem. I've always loved it! :-)
Thanks for posting this.

They really are. I always said if I had a sail boat, I'd paint it green and name it "The Owl and the Pussycat."
