This poem continues with the theme of adventure. This time, the narrator is describing ‘the very best of plays’ that he had with his friend, Tom, when they built a ship on the stairs of the house.

We built a ship upon the stairs

All made of the back-bedroom chairs,

And filled it full of soft 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.

We sailed along for days and days,

And had the very best of plays;

But Tom fell out and hurt his knee,

So there was no one left but me.
