Jabberwocky

…"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 snickersnack!
 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. …

Lewis Carroll (from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)

My last contribution to The Unique Sheep's Wonderland Sock Club:

This is what happened when I sat down to knit while thinking about the Jabberwocky from the Alice in Wonderland Movie. Personally, I think it fits pretty well....
