Jabberwocky
by Lewis Carroll
'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 throughThe
vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its headHe 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
.
