Jabberwocky Jabberwocky

By Lewis Carroll By Lewis Carroll

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves ‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves, All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe. And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son! “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!


The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!” The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand: He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought– Long time the manxome foe he sought–
So rested he by the Tumtum tree, So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought. And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood, And, as in uffish thought he stood,


The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came! And burbled as it came!

One two! One two! And through and One two! One two! And through and
through through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back. He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy! Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy. He chortled in his joy.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves ‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves, All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe. And the mome raths outgrabe.
