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 resteted 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
tulgery wood, And burbled as it came!
