Beware the Jabberwock my son
the teeth that bite
the claws that scratch

Beware the Jubb Jubb bird and shun
the frimulous Bandersnatch!

the last verse is my favourite:

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

Callooh! Callay! must be is the Woo Yay of its time

Ah,my favorite poem
of ll time is The Hunting of The Snark, and my favorite bit of a poem is.

'The time has come', the Walrus said,
'Too speak of many things'.
'Of shoes and ships and ceiling wax,
and cabbages and kings,
and why the sea is boiling hot and whether,
pigs have wings.'
