One, two! And through and through<br /> The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!<br />He left it dead, and with its head<br /> He went galumphing back.<br />"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?<br /> Come to my arms, my beamish boy!<br />O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'<br /> He chortled in his joy.<br />`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves<br /> Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;<br />All mimsy were the borogoves,<br /> And the mome raths outgrabe.
