If we're allowed totally arbitrary quotes (not just Lord of the Rings) in
parrot, could I suggest one inspired by your above description.
"The Jumblies" by Edward Lear starts
They went to sea in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they went to sea:
In spite of all their friends could say,
On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
In a Sieve they went to sea!
