jabberwocky

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

 

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

 

And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

 

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

 

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

 

The frumious Bandersnatch!"

 

 

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

 

Long time the manxome foe he sought --

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

 

And stood awhile in thought

 

 

And as in uffish thought he stood,

 

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

 

And burbled as it came!

 

 

One, two! One, two! and through and through

 

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

 

He went galumphing back.

 

 

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

 

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

 

He chortled in his joy.

 

 

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

 

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

 

And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

I now admit to being an alice in wonderland admirer.  When the can take a nonsense book and make sense of it….this is so cool!!  ok I’m weird. I’m done.
