Twas Brillig and the slithy Toves 

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe,

All mimsy were the borogoves

And the momeraths outgrabe.



Beware the Jabberwock, my son,

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jub-jub bird and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch



He took his vorpal sword in hand,

Long time the manx-ome foe he sought,

So rested he by the Tum Tum Tree

And stood a while in thought.



And as in uffish thought he stood

The Jabberwock with eyes of flame

Came whiffling thru the tulgey wood

And burbled as it came!



One two one two, and through and through the vorpal blade went snicker snak!

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!

Oh frabjous day! Cllooh, Calay!  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 momeraths outgrabe.
