Beware of the Jabberwocky, my friend
The jaws that bite the claws that catch

I know the first verse repeats and is in the end of Lewis Carroll's poem, but I don't remember the middle. I'm sure you know more, Gail. |
So close, hee! It goes like this: " twas brillig and the slithey toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome rathes outgrabe."
I named one of my first cats Mimsy when I was young.
I had to translate the poem in college...that was fun!
