'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!"

Ya what he said

Someone wasn't paying attention in Lit class.

Then again, I don't suppose Lewis Carroll is taught much in regular Lit classes... Run a Google search on "Jabberwock" and see what comes up. I always read his books for the fun of it, anyway.

We did that in drama at my High School...

Hehe thought maybe you were a drunken Irishman for St. Patricks Day

Oh, if I was going to act the drunken Irishman, I'd have quoted something in entirety, not just the first couple of stanzas.

But Carroll was English, not Irish.
