Jumblies, and Other Nonsense Verses

Excerpt: "e;They went to sea in a Sieve, they did, In a Sieve they went to sea: In spite of all their friends could say, On a winter's morn, on a stormy day, In a Sieve they went to sea! And when the Sieve turned round and round, And every one cried, "e;You'll all be drowned!"e; They cried aloud, "e;Our Sieve ain't big, But we don't care a button, we don't care a fig! In a Sieve we'll go to sea!"e; Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve."e;
