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