A chap called Jabberwocky

One fine dayโ€ฆ

just around midnight.

I met a strange chappy

Who delivered to me quite the Fright!

He went by the name of Jabberwocky.

Certain I had misheard, I straightened my glasses, nice and snappy.

Jabberwocky!

he confidently repeated.

My friends call me Jabber, because I love to yabber.

Well, there was no stopping him, he would not be defeated

prattled on and on and onโ€ฆ

until his whiffling

became so mind numbing.

His perpetual piffling

almost lulled me asleep.

I was getting quite desperate

when he glanced my way with a gimble

Tipped his hat and shot

Well, Iโ€™ll leave you to it!

And speedily went on his way.
