Eek! That's horrible - worse than Tittymouse and Tattymouse. Combines bloodthirstiness ('with fragments strewed the sea'....) with a really creepy insistence on the virtue of unquestioning obedience. No wonder it was parodied to death - the version I know is:
The boy stood on the burning deck
His feet were full of blisters
His pants fell down and burnt around
And now he wears his sister's.
I bet that was the version certain of the SAs knew....
