Jabberwocky Poem by Lewis Carroll
Jabberwocky
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'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 a while 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 snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! '
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
I only paused to close the door on this smoldering sack of offal. My wife, Fanni, found my last poems in the breast pocket of the coat I was wearing at the end of the death march you sent us on. We will outlast you.

.............still wondering how this poem is in the top 500 poems list....and how could a great writer pen this nonsense....
That is just what makes him great; after all Alice in Wonderland is nonsense. Nonsense is often closer to reality than common sense.
