`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, has 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.

I have at times surprised co-workers by exclaiming, "Oh, frabjous day!" when something goes really right...though I did once have someone reply, "Come to my arms, my beamish boy!"

When I was in sixth grade I recited that for a speech meet... no wait that year I did The Owl and the Pussy Cat... SEVENTH grade was the year I did The Jabberwocky!

Have you read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass? I bought a book off Amazon.com that had all of his stories in it, with all the original art work! LOVE it!
