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 though.
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
through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snake
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!
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 rathes outgrabe.
