Clearly Edward Lear's poem 'The Owl and the Pussycat' contains cryptic references to a lost wassail tradition for quince trees; the symbolic marriage ceremony between an owl and a moggy is an esoteric guide to a ritual of deep significance. You may of course think it a load of nonsense, but if you use a pair of runcible spoons to beat a rhythm on drums made of the finest Bong-tree wood (a set of bongo drums make an acceptable substitute) while dancing by the light of the moon I think you could achieve some interesting results. Please consult the regulations for your local Tier first.
