I have said it twice:<br />That alone should encourage the crew.<br />Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:<br />What I tell you three times is true.\\\"<br /><br />The crew was complete: it included a Boots--<br />A maker of Bonnets and Hoods--<br />A Barrister, brought to arrange their disputes--<br />And a Broker, to value their goods.<br /><br />A Billiard-marker, whose skill was immense,<br />Might perhaps have won more than his share--<br />But a Banker, engaged at enormous expense,<br />Had the whole of their cash in his care.<br /><br />There was also a Beaver, that paced on the deck,<br />Or would sit making lace in the bow:<br />And had often (the Bellman said) saved them from wreck,<br />Though none of the sailors knew how.<br /><br />There was one who was famed for the number of things<br />He forgot when he entered the ship:<br />His umbrella, his watch, all his jewels and rings,<br />And the clothes he had bought for the trip.<br /><br />He had forty-two boxes, all carefully packed,<br />With his name painted clearly on each:<br />But, since he omitted to mention the fact,<br />They were all left behind on the beach.<br /><br />The loss of his clothes hardly mattered, because<br />He had seven coats on when he came,<br />With three pair of boots--but the worst of it was,<br />He had wholly forgotten his name.<br /><br />He would answer to \\\"Hi!\\\" or to any loud cry,<br />Such as \\\"Fry me!\\\" or \\\"Fritter my wig!\\\"<br />To \\\"What-you-may-call-um!\\\" or \\\"What-was-his-name!\\\"<br />But especially \\\"Thing-um-a-jig!\\\"");
