Jabberwocky

¿Jabberwocky¿ is one of the most well-known nonsense poems in the English language. Though full of playful made-up words like ¿brillig,¿ ¿mimsy,¿ and frumious,¿ the poem still tells a story. A young warrior faces up against the fearsome Jabberwock, armed with a ¿vorpal blade,¿ and comes out triumphant: ¿O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!¿ This poem first appeared in the middle of Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, Carroll¿s follow-up to the well-beloved children¿s classic Alice¿s Adventures in Wonderland.
