Mr. Quangle-Wangle-Quee

The Quangle Wangle lived in the Crumpetty Tree, and his enormous beaver hat could be seen for miles around. But it was very quiet in the Crumpetty tree
Until all sorts of animals, like the Pobble who has no toes and the Attery Squash
Came to live in his beaver hat

The Quangle Wangle sat
But his face you could not see
On account of his Beaver Hat
For his hat was a hundred and two feet wide
With ribbons and bibbons on every side
And bells, and buttons, and loops, and lace
So that nobody ever could see the face
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee

The Quangle Wangle said
To himself on the Crumpetty Tree,--
'Jam; and jelly; and bread;
'Are the best food for me!
'But the longer I live on this Crumpetty Tree
'The plainer that ever it seems to me
'That very few people come this way
'And that life on the whole is far from gay!'
Said the Quangle Wangle Quee

But there came to the Crumpetty Tree
Mr. and Mrs. Canary;
And they said, -- 'Did you ever see
'Any spot so charmingly airy?
'May we build a nest on your lovely Hat?
Mr. Quangle Wangle, grant us that!
'O please let us come and build a nest
'Of whatever material suits you best
'Mr. Quangle Wangle Quee!'

And besides, to the Crumetty Tree
Came the Stork, the Duck, and the Owl;
The Snail, and the Bumble-Bee
The Frog, and theFimble Fowl;
(The Fimble Fowl, with a Corkscrew leg;)
And all of them said, -- We humbly beg
'We may build our homes on your lovely Hat,--
'Mr. Quangle Wangle, grant us that!
'Mr. Quangle Wangle Quee!'

And the Golden Grouse came there
And the Pobble who has no toes,--
And the small Olympian bear,--
And the Dong with a luminous nose
And the Blue Babboon, who played the flute,--
And the Orient Calf from the Land of Tute,--
And the Attery Squash, and the Bisky Bat,--
All came and built on the lovely Hat
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee

And the Quangle Wangle said
To himself on the Crumpetty Tree,--
'When all these creatures move
'What a wonderful noise there'll be!'
And at night by the light of the Mulberry moon
They danced to the flute of the Blue Babboon
On the broad green leaves of the Crumpetty Tree
And all were as happy as happy could be
With the Quangle Wangle Quee
