Oh, I do love this topic! Here's my initial contribution:

Jabberwocky
by Lewis Carroll

'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!
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.



"Jabberwocky" was written by Lewis Carroll, and found as a part of his novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871). It is generally considered to be one of the greatest nonsense poems written in the English language.

It just seemed to be perfect here.

From now on this is the only topic I'm going to watch longer than a day.

And you're off-topic already, Funks - wonderful!

hey funks!!

oh lex, that reminds me of that part from the walrus and the carpenter.

"the time has come," the walrus said,
"to talk of many things:
of shoes, and ships, and sealing-wax,
of cabbages, and kings.
and why the sea is boiling hot,
and whether pigs have wings."

little known fact: I get that stuck in my head from time to time. Like a song.
