Strana 44 - 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.
Strana 42 - One, two, Buckle my shoe; Three, four, Shut the door; Five, six, Pick up sticks; Seven, eight, Lay them straight; Nine, ten, A good fat hen; Eleven, twelve, Who will delve?
Strana 27 - IF all the world were apple-pie, And all the sea were ink, And all the trees were bread and cheese, What should we have to drink?
Strana 14 - THE auld wife sat at her ivied door, (Butter and eggs and a pound of cheese) A thing she had frequently done before; And her spectacles lay on her aproned knees. The piper he piped on the hill-top high, (Butter and eggs and a pound of cheese) Till the cow said " I die " and the goose asked "Why;" And the dog said nothing but searched for fleas.

Strana 12 - The Mantelpiece. He was adored by all his men, For worthy CAPTAIN REECE, RN, Did all that lay within him to Promote the comfort of his crew. If ever they were dull or sad, Their captain danced to them like mad, Or told, to make the time pass by, Droll legends of his infancy.
Strana 44 - Ploffskin, Pluffskin, Pelican jee! We think no Birds so happy as we ! Plumpskin, Ploshkin, Pelican jill! We think so then, and we thought so still ! Last year came out our Daughter Dell, And all the Birds received her well.
Strana 14 - neath her burning cheeks, (Butter and eggs and a pound of cheese) And gazed at the piper for thirteen weeks; Then she followed him out o'er the misty leas. Her sheep followed her, as their tails did them. (Butter and eggs and a pound of cheese) And this song is considered a perfect gem, And as to the meaning, it's what you please.
Strana 45 - And Quoodle here discloses All things that Quoodle can, They haven't got no noses, They haven't got no noses, And goodness only knowses The Noselessness of Man.
Strana 43 - In summer, when the days are long, Perhaps you'll understand the song: In autumn, when the leaves are brown, Take pen and ink, and write it down.
