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.

This is obviously symbolism of Blue Lake Green Beans, the sieve being the washing process.

Actually, if you believe that, you were probably an English major.

In truth, these are the neighbors of the Chuys.

Jalapenoman,

I just heard that Kate Gosselin's new reality show will be a spinoff of her old show, Jon and Kate Plus 8.

This one is called Kate and Chuy Plus 48?

Hasta La Galleria de Chuy "Red" Skelton,

Actually, I was an English Brigadier. Ho ho.

They did
They went to sea in a sieve

Discussion - of course the nonsense of this is typical of Lear the aging king of Britain. He decides to step down from the throne and divide his kingdom evenly among his three daughters. First, however, he puts his daughters through a test, asking each to tell him how much she loves him. Gonnnorrhoea and Rabies, Lear's older daughters, give their father flattering answers telling him how they would like his jabberwock in their bandersnatches. But Clostridium, Lear's youngest and favorite daughter, remains silent, saying that she has no words to describe how much she loves her father. So Lear, to solve his tricky problem tells them all to fuck off to sea and not to come back until they have something sensible to say.To make sure that they stay away for long time he poked holes in their coracle saying "no piss off and don't expect me to bale you out."

Ah, coracles. Now you're talking.

I found the exact quote - it took a bit of looking and ingenuity

I want that glib and oily art
To speak and purpose not; since what I well intend,
I'll do't before I speak.
To sea thou shall't go vile maidens
Thus spake the oracle
In a holey coracle
