You all know the poem: it’s pretty darn famous. Lewis Carrol’s The Jabberwock showed up in “Through the Looking Glass” and it became embedded in our literal (heh) culture ever since.\u00a0 I also wanted to include my own nonsense poem but alas, I can’t find it.<\/p>\n
\n‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
\nDid gyre and gimble in the wabe:
\nAll mimsy were the borogoves,
\nAnd the mome raths outgrabe.<\/p>\n
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
\nThe jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
\nBeware the Jubjub bird, and shun
\nThe frumious Bandersnatch!”<\/p>\n
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
\nLong time the manxome foe he sought-
\nSo rested he by the Tumtum tree,
\nAnd stood awhile in thought.<\/p>\n
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
\nThe Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
\nCame whiffling through the tulgey wood,
\nAnd burbled as it came!<\/p>\n
One, two! One, two! And through and through
\nThe vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
\nHe left it dead, and with its head
\nHe went galumphing back.<\/p>\n
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
\nCome to my arms, my beamish boy!
\nO frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
\nHe chortled in his joy.<\/p>\n
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
\nDid gyre and gimble in the wabe:
\nAll mimsy were the borogoves,
\nAnd the mome raths outgrabe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
