Hey, leeneia, I recognize that one: SYLVIE AND BRUNO. I love that book! Not many know of it. Carroll includes his own tune, at least in my edition. That big old crazy-quilt of a book (in two parts) has a LOT of glorious nonsensical poetry in it. I am partial to the one about the three badgers, and their father --You shall have buns, he shrieked, if you behave! -- and the three herring and their mother, and the happy ending at the seashore. Carroll loved his nonsense.
