Nonsense

“

“Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.”

Edward Lear

“

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

Edward Lear

“

I love to talk about nothing. It's the only thing I know anything about.

Oscar Wilde

“

He would answer to “Hi!” or to any loud cry
Such as “Fry me!” or “Fritter my wig!”
To “What-you-may-call-um!” or
 “What-was-his-name!”
But especially “Thing-um-a-jig!”

Lewis Carroll

“

When storm-clouds brood on the towering heights
Of the hills of the Chankly Bore.

Edward Lear

“

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

Lewis Carroll
