This poem was sent to me by my sister. It's funny. :) Enjoy!

Jabberwocky
by Lewis Carroll (Charles L. Dodgson)
From Through the Looking-Glass, 1871

'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 through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
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!
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.

Date: 6/4/2002 9:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 3395    I like this one! I remember this one from British Lit. Now that I am a Psychology major and see the works of Lewis Carroll, I often wonder if he was schizophrenic (this is no joke). Schizophrenics throw words together like the ones in this poem, also, the way in which he wrote "Alice: Through a Looking Glass" many times seemed as if there was a possibility of slight schizophrenia. LOL, this is my own theory ,though, and I wonder if people have wondered this? Oh well. Thanks for posting!   
Date: 6/4/2002 10:05:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    Holly, I have wondered this too!! LOL!! He shows a lot of the same characteristics as some composers I've come across, so that's how I was able to pick it up.   
Date: 6/4/2002 10:06:00 AM  From Authorid: 25390    that was supposed to be *schizophrentic composers  
Date: 6/4/2002 10:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 3395    Odd, that is really cool! Yeah, many artistic people seems to have the characteristics of schizophrenia. It's weird. Oh, I also think Picasso was definately a schizo.
