(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
oh 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)
