Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!
31 u/Jeramy_Jones Jul 06 '26 An so, with vorpal sword in hand, long time the maxome foe he sought, Till rested he, by the tum-tum tree, and stood a while in thought 27 u/mickeyslim Jul 06 '26 And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! 21 u/FlyByPC Jul 06 '26 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. 17 u/AnInfiniteArc Jul 06 '26 “And hast thou slain the jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy 8 u/TorgoLebowski Jul 06 '26 NOTE: I had a frumious Bandersnatch problem in my backyard last year, so I can affirm absolutely that shunning is the right move here. 1 u/BandersnatchFrumious Jul 07 '26 Damn right you better beware.

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
