The Jabberwocky~Shiz

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves<br />
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;<br />
All mimsy were the borogoves,<br />
And the mome raths outgrabe.<br />
<br />
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!<br />
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!<br />
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun<br />
The frumious Bandersnatch!"<br />
<br />
He took his vorpal sword in hand:<br />
Long time the manxome foe he sought--<br />
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,<br />
And stood awhile in thought.<br />
<br />
And, as in uffish thought he stood,<br />
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,<br />
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,<br />
And burbled as it came!<br />
<br />
One two! One two! And through and through<br />
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!<br />
He left it dead, and with its head<br />
He went galumphing back.<br />
<br />
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?<br />
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!<br />
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"<br />
He chortled in his joy.<br />
<br />
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves<br />
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;<br />
All mimsy were the borogoves,<br />
And the mome raths outgrabe.<br />

Some may recognize the first stanza of this poem because the cheshire cat sang it in Disney's version of Alice in Wonderland.<br />

I know this poem by heart and I love it! ^.^ So I decided to draw a picture of the legendary Jabberwock! (original illustration by Sir John Tenniel)
