The Jabberwocky Parts

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves 

      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:   Brooklyn

All mimsy were the borogoves, 

      And the mome raths outgrabe.  Henry

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son! 

      The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!  Joseph

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun 

      The frumious Bandersnatch!”   Celeste 

He took his vorpal sword in hand; 

      Long time the manxome foe he sought—  Nate

So rested he by the Tumtum tree 

      And stood awhile in thought.    Paige 

And, as in uffish thought he stood, 

      The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,     Michael

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, 

      And burbled as it came!                          Rose

One, two! One, two! And through and through 

      The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!   Connor

He left it dead, and with its head 

      He went galumphing back.               Hannah 

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? 

      Come to my arms, my beamish boy!     Grace 

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” 

      He chortled in his joy.                 Gwen
