I hope you ain't going to blow up my boat, Mr. Johnson. Like my wife, she's not much, but she's all I have.
The frowsy sponge boats keep coming in
with the obliging air of retrievers,
All in the golden afternoon
Full leisurely we glide;
...
There was also a Beaver, that paced on the deck,
He was thoughtful and grave--but the orders he gave
Were enough to bewilder a crew.
...
Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes:
A thing, as the Bellman remarked,
...
Oh, a capital ship for an ocean trip,
Was the Walloping Window Blind;
...
The boatswain's mate was very sedate,
Yet fond of amusement, too;
...
The captain sat in a commodore's hat
And dined in a royal way
...
we cast the vessel ashore
On the Gulliby Isles where the Pooh-pooh smiles,
And the Rumbletum bunders roar.
