'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 Jabberwocky, 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 maxome foe he sought -

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

And stood awhile in thought.


One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal sword went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.


"And hast thou slain the Jabberwocky?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

He chartled in his joy.
