"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!"

This poem was recently brought to mind as I was trying to think of examples of onomatopoeia. As a kid it was so nonsensical I just didn't get it, and I tended to reject anything Alice in Wonderland anyway so I didn't care for it. As an adult I appreciate it more. So I thought I'd share the poem and something a friend of mine found for me, Benedict Cumberbatch reading the poem. (For anyone who doesn't know he's the British actor currently playing Sherlock in BBC's new series and he's brilliant.)

Jabberwocky

'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 hast 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.
