‘Twas dwinkly
whilst the tunklies old
Did slobre
through the TumTum sky;
All
stundrid were the smuppy brood,
And no tove
and mome would ask why.
The sun flies by the Tulgey
Wood.
My Crest is stained! My rage aflut.
The hours hat swung by where
I’th stood.
The sun witnessed my luck
kurplut.
My vest present in front not
back,
While tiny were the buttons
black.
My clands unclipped from
clippers clunk,
My hair untrimmed from broken
frunk.
Then GwinGock’s bird of
Jubjub rare,
Did frumpick at my scildy
hair.
And BlugBlod’s beamish
Bandersnatch
Came leashless out; tabbed on
my sgatch.
I trulluf through the tumtum
land,
awaiting soon a tempt so
grand.
And resting by a tumtum tree,
a chance to blow my frum with
glee.
Fhwap!
Now snicker-snacked has been
my head.
So sadly this, and now I’m
dead.
Fhwompf.
In Memory of Sir Jabber A.
Wockington
He was married and 42.
‘Twas
dwinkly whilst the tunklies old
Did slobre
through the TumTum sky;
All
stundrid were the smuppy brood,
And no tove
and mome would ask why.
