TOPSY-TURVY WORLD
CHORUS VERSE
Baa-baa, black wool, If the butterfly courted the bee
Have you any sheep? And the owl the porcupine;
Yes, sir, a pack full, If churches were built in the sea,
Creep, mouse creep! And three times one was nine;
Four and twenty little maids If the pony rode his master, Hanging out the pie, If the buttercups ate the cows,
Out jumped the honey-pot, If the cat had the dire disaster Guy Fawkes, Guy! To be worried sir, by a mouse;
Cross Latch Cross Latch, If mamma sir, sold, the baby
Sit and spin the fire, To a gypsy for half a crown;
When the pie was opened, If a gentleman, sir, was a lady, The bird was on the brier? The world would be Upside-Down!
Out jumped the honey-pot, If any of all these wonders Guy Fawkes, Guy! Should ever come about
Cross Latch Cross Latch, I should not consider them blunders,
Sit and spin the fire, For I should be Inside-Out!
When the pie was opened,
The bird was on the brier?
THEY WENT TO SEA IN A SIEVE 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 everyone cried, "You'll all be drowned!" They cried 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.
The water it soon came in, it did, the water it soon came in; So to keep them dry they wrapped their feet, In a pinky paper all folded and neat, and they fastened it down with a pin. And they passed the night in a crockery jar, And each of them said, "How wise we are! Though the sky be dark and the voyage be long, Yet we never can think we were rash, or wrong While round in our sieve we spin!"
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.
They sailed to the Western sea they did,
to a land all covered with trees. And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart, And a pound of Rice and a Cranberry Tart, and a hive of Silvery Bees. And they bought a Pig, and some Green Jackdaws, And a lovely Monkey with Lollipop Paws, And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree, And no end of Stilton Cheese.
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.
And in twenty years they all came back, in twenty years or more, And everyone said, "How tall they've grown!" For they've been to the lakes And the Torrible Zone, and the hills of the Chankly Bore!" And they drank their health, and gave them a feast; Of dumplings made of beautiful Yeast; And everyone said, "If only we live, we too will go to sea in a Sieve To the hills of the Chankly Bore!" 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.

have any!' The 'menace' is now 50-plus! (Well, the comic strip

Word Finding.
Hidden in this story are eight things that you would usually find in the sky. Can you tell me what they are? On Friday when Johnny came in from school he asked his Mum to help him with his homework. The teacher had asked that the children collect three black items to take into school on the following day. "But they all have to be something that is of no use anymore Mam." he added. "Well that shouldn't be to hard, darling" his Mother said. "All we have to do is make a plan, everything is easier that way." "OK," Johnny said smiling." Where shall we start?" Well let's undo this bag of bits and bobs and see what we can find in that first." "Hm,m. I don't think this old whisk you use for making the batter is any good, do you?" Johnny laughed and then throwing that to one side he pulled out his big brothers lost Arsenal shirt. "Oh look mam, Barry has been looking for this everywhere." He threw it over to his mam who was inspecting a little black-magic loudspeaker that played tunes without anyone knowing how. "It's too small for him now my love," she answered. "But I think this is a good item." she handed Johnny the speaker. "Oh look, and I can take this old train, thats black." M,m,m and I think Molly would be pleased if we got rid of this horrid black frock, Ethel gave her for her birthday." Johnnies Mam said standing up. "There you go son, easy once you have a plan." "Wow mum, that really was easy. I thought we'd be looking for things all night." Johnny shoved all the other things back in the bag, then turned and gave his mum a big kiss and a hug. "Lovely," he said. "What's for tea mum?"
