'The time has come,' the Walrus said
'To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings.'
-- The Walrus and The Carpenter by Lewis Carroll

I always wondered if this whole "cabbages and kings" thing started with Diocletian the Roman emperor who retired to become a cabbage farmer. When people wanted him to come out of retirement he resisted, saying something about farming cabbages being more satisfying than ruling an empire.
