gimbal in the wabe. All whimsy were the Boro groves
and the mom wraths out grabe. Beware the jabberwock, my son,
the jaws that bite, the claws that catch. Beware the
jubjub bird, and shun the frumious bander snatch. He took

his vorpal sword in hand. Long time the man some
foe he sought, So rested he by the tum tum tree,
and stood awhile in thought, and as in ufish thought
he stood. The jabberwock, with eyes of flame, came whifling
through the toulgi wood, and burbled as it came one too,

he went galumphing back, and hast thou slain the jabberwock.

(01:13):
the slythy toves did gyre and gimbal in the wabe.
All whimsy were the borough groves and the momraths of Grabe.
