Line 94:
==Jumblies==
The line quoted as being from "The Dong with a Luminous Nose" by Edward Lear originates from the poem "The Jumblies", also by Lear. I will change that. Lear's poem "The Dong with the Luminous Nose" does not have a returning chorus. It however quotes the chorus from "The Jumblies" in two places, since the Dong falls in love with one of the Jumblies. I think it makes more sense to give the title of the poem in which the Jumblies are originally mentioned. Both poems are from "The book of Nonsense", first published in 1871.

== Literary nonsense ==
This page really should be incorporated into the '[[Literary nonsense]]' page. Nonsense verse is just a subset of literary nonsense---as nonsense need not be written in verse!
