Damn mating season...
Apr. 13th, 2002 01:33 amwell, for those of you who have achieved couple hood, I am jealous....spring is in the aire, and I'm unsatiated.
With that in mind, here' my favorite poem, by that wonderful pedarist, Lewis Carrol...
"Twas brillig and the slivey toaves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe
all mimsey were the borogoves
and the momraths out grabe
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son,
The Jaws that bite, the claws that snatch,
Beware the jub-jub bird
and shun the frumious bandersnatch.
"He took his vorpal blade in hand
long time the maxnum foe he sought
So rest did he by a tum-tum tree
and stood a while in thought.
"And as in uffish thought he stood
The Jabberwock with eyes of flame
Came wiffling through the tulgy 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 beemish boy!
Oh frabjeous day, gallo gallay
He chortled in his joy
"Twas brillig and the slivey toaves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe
all mimsey were the borogoves
and the momraths out grabe."
My apologies for any mispellings, I learned it orally, so my spellings may be off.
