Poems that you love

[billy]

i enjoyed all the ones put up so far. though i do prefer happier ones than sad sorry jack.

here's one of my all time faves which is think is underrated. whether you a kid or an adult you get it. you know the tranquillity is going to burst into blood and snot, you know not to run your finger down that vorpal blade less you want the fucker cutting off. i love it.

Jabberwocky!
by Lewis Caroll


'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 blade 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!

O 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 borogroves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.
