Many thanks!
“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 sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought —
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
PERFECT! I adore your take on Lewis Carroll’s characters!
Much appreciated! I’m glad you noticed the Tumtum, as well:)
Glorious!
