"Far and few are the lands where Jumblies live, their heads are green and their hands are blue, and they went to sea in a sieve" - this is a text from Edward Lear's "The Dong with a Luminous Nose". Jumblies were a musical lot, singing, playing the flute, and dancing in circles by moonlight. The piccolo sounds depict their landscape, songs and a turbulent voyage on their perforated craft.
