‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
\nDid gyre and gimble in the wabe:
\nAll mimsy were the borogoves,
\nAnd the mome raths outgrabe.<\/p>\n

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
\nThe jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
\nBeware the Jubjub bird, and shun
\nThe frumious Bandersnatch!”<\/p>\n

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
\nLong time the manxome foe he sought
\nSo rested he by the Tumtum tree,
\nAnd stood a while in thought.<\/p>\n

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
\nThe Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
\nCame whiffling through the tulgey wood,
\nAnd burbled as it came!<\/p>\n

One two! One two! And through and through
\nThe vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
\nHe left it dead, and with its head
\nHe went galumphing back.<\/p>\n

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
\nCome to my arms, my beamish boy!
\nOh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
\nHe chortled in his joy.<\/p>\n

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
\nDid gyre and gimble in the wabe:
\nAll mimsy were the borogoves,
\nAnd the mome raths outgrabe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
