The vorpal sword went snicker snack!
Yes, that's what we've been told.
But is that silly story true,
That tale from times of old?
Yes borogoves were mimsy,
And the tothes did gyre and gimble,
But what we do not know is that
Our Jabberwock was nimble!
She took her mate's ungrateful head
(Twas offered to the lad.)
Her own jaws, they went snicker snack
(And serves him right, the cad.)
The silly boy was very young
And gave it to his pop
The old man thought he'd slain the beast
And could've died of shock!
The Jabberwock was fuming!
Why, what had she just done?
If you lived in medieval times.
You'd want a bit of fun
That stupid boy was boastful
And he bragged an awful lot.
The Jabberwock just swallowed him
As well as dear old pop.
The Jabberwock still burbles
Througout the tulgy wood.
You may think she's a killer, but
She's just misunderstood.
Author notes
I wrote this for a poetry contest. It only got to the semifinals because when I was reciting it, I skipped a stanza. we had to do stupid hand motions, too. I know, the rhyming seems a little forced. I'm aware of that. oopsie. Lewis Carroll is SO going to get me for this!!
Dear Mr Lewis Carroll --
I am sincerely sorry - I had to write SOMETHING!
Comments, Please!

Great Job!
I love this poem. It cracks me up. The last line is my favorite, it ties the poem together and is very humorous.
