Kirk Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Here's the whole poem: '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!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! and through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. The professor in our English class had us substitute real words in place of Lewis' made up words- which led to a lot of different interpretations of Lewis work! The same could probably be said for this review of the Raspberries (thus my reason for bringing it up). What a bunch of whiffling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie Mississippi Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Whatever the intent of this article, it will forever be lost on me as this is what the link leads me to: This blog has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service... Appaerently somebody at WordPress really misunderstood... or understood... them... And as for student 250 out of 250, he would have been the valedictorian, but he died one night cramming in the study hall... and nobody noticed since he was the only person who entered that room in his four years...
