by Edward Lear

The Jumblies is a classic nonsense poem by Edward Lear, known for its whimsical and nonsensical story. The poem follows a group of peculiar creatures, the Jumblies, who decide to embark on a journey across the sea in search of a land they've only heard about in stories. Their journey is filled with fantastical encounters and absurd events, all told in Lear's signature style of playful rhymes and nonsensical language. The poem's charm lies in its sheer absurdity and its ability to spark imagination and laughter in readers of all ages.
