The Jumblies and Other Nonsense Verses by Edward Lear is a collection of nonsense poems about little gremlins called the Jumblies. Excerpt: "HEY 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 everyone cried, "You'll all be drowned!" They cried aloud, "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!" 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."
