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 blade 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.
