Re-writing ‘Jabberwocky’ by Lewis Carroll
ReplyDelete‘Twas night, and the freezing temperature
Did good and bad in the forest:
All mournful were the creatures.
And the people celebrated wildly.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The fat Bandersnatch
He took his sharp sword in hand:
Long time the powerful foe he sought—
So rested by the Tumtum tree,
And he stood awhile in thought.
And, as in disturbing thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came hobbling through the dark woods,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The sharp blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with his head
He went galloping back.
‘And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my brave boy!
O fabulous day! Callooh! Callay!’
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas night, and the freezing temperature
Did good and bad in the forest:
All mournful were the creatures.
And the people celebrated wildly.
Courage
Twas morning, and the slimy toads
ReplyDeleteDid blenching and croaking in the woods:
All messy were the mangroves
And the monsters ran amok
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird and shun
The mighty Bandersnatch!”
He took his samurai sword in his hand:
Long time the hated foe he sought –
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in deep thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came ruffling through the thick wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The samurai blade went snicker- snack!
He left it dead, and with his head
He went triumphing back.
“And has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my brave boy!
O joyous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in joy.
Twas morning, and the slimy toads
Did blenching and croaking in the woods;
All messy were the mangroves
And the monsters ran amok

`It was raining, and the howling wolves
Did search and hunt in the dark:
All hooting were the owls,
And the tiny rats scampered.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The dangerous Bandersnatch!"
He took his mighty sword in hand:
Long time the giant foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in dreamy thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came flying through the overcrowded wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The mighty blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went withdrawing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O rejoiceful day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas night time, and the place was dark
ReplyDeleteDid light and glitter in the house:
All humans were the scared ones,
And the animals roam around.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The poisonous Bandersnatch!"
He took his powerful sword in hand:
Long time the manifold foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in seconds thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came crawling through the damp wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The powerful blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galloping back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my happy boy!
O fabulous day! Callooh! Callay!'

‘Twas brilliant, and the slimy slugs
Did fire and gargle in the wake:
All monsters were the toughest.
And the monster ate them.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird ,and shun
The furious Bandersnatch!”
He took his sharp sword in hand;
Long time the massive foe he sought—
So rested he by the tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought,
And, as in deep thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came tumbling through the pudgy wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The sharp blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galloping back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my handsome boy!
O fabulous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas chilling, and the slimy frogs
Did Gyre and Gimble in the waves:
All mini were the mangroves,
And the Nome rafts outbreak.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The furious Bandersnatch!"
He took his mighty sword in hand:
Long time the fierce foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in sudden thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came rushing through the crowded wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The bloody blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went dashing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my dear boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
