Flodigarry House, Isle of Skye, Scotland

Happy Birthday to the Songwriter!!

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, 'You'll all be drowned!'
They called 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.

... from The Jumblies, by Edward Lear

  18. What a fun poem. I really enjoyed it.

    My birthday wishes to the poet. Linda and I spend many days on the Isle of Skye researching my family's background. They lived in Portree for many years in the mid 19th century.

    To my certain knowledge, they never went to sea in a sieve.
