" "
On the Coast of Coromandel
Where the early pumpkins blow,
In the middle of the woods
Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bò.
Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
One old jug without a handle,—
These were all his worldly goods.

Additional quotes by Edward Lear

It's a fact the whole world knows,
That Pebbles are happier without their toes.

Calico Jam,
The little Fish swam,
Over the syllabub sea,
He took off his hat,
To the Sole and the Sprat,
And the Willeby-Wat,—
But he never came back to me!

They went to sea in a sieve, they did;
In a sieve they went to sea;
In spite of all their friends could say.
