The Complete Jabberwocky

[kije]

I referenced part of the Jabberwocky in my earlier post. For who wish to refer to it in its entirety, it is included here.

Twas brillig and the slythy toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome-wraths 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 a while in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood
The Jabberwock with eyes of flame
Came wiffling 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 gallumphing back

And has thou slain the jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy.
O frabjous day, calloo Callay
He chortled in his joy

Twas brillig, and the slythy toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome wraths outgrabe.
