We built a ship upon the
stairs

All made of the back-bedroom
chairs,
And filled it full of sofa pillows

To go a-sailing on the billows.

We took a saw and several nails,

And water in the nursery pails ;

And Tom said, ‘ Let us also take

An apple and a slice of cake ;’—

Which was enough for Tom and
me

To go a-sailing on, till tea.
