i remember reading this poem when i was about7
and i have remembered it word for word ever since
im 20 now and i can still recite it.
its a fantastic poem that creates a new world in your head.
everyone has there own views and images of the jabberwocky
itself.
lewis carrol has excelled himself with this poem.

I love the blog name! My boys love Jabberwocky, and we have a blast reading it aloud.

You must tell us why two schools threw you out! I only got tossed from one.

I got it right away! Takes me back to school and learning that poem — my school mates and I used to proclaim everything we thought was cool as “brillig” including ourselves! In fact, I am still known to use it every now and then! Cool blog BTW!

I don’t know if I should be proud that I got this reference, or if I should be considered a literature geek.

Maybe it just means that I graduated from 8th grade.

Just stumbled upon your blog today and wanted to say I love the title and blog on.

I must go gyre and gimble in the wabe now. (That is Jabberwocky talk for clean toilets and make beds.)

Becky, the maid.

Thanks so much, this has helped me explain this poem to my son. He is studying it in his 6th grade honors class. I didn’t study Lewis Carroll at all in college. All the morbid poets yes, but not this one.

Like many of your fans, I only clicked on your link because I figured it would be brillig! Our entire family knows that poem off by heart, we are such nerds. Good to know we are not alone… Nice ta meetcha!

I’m proud to say I got the reference as well, due to having the coolest/geekiest friends in middle school.
I’m glad I found your blog–I just got into this whole blogging nonsense and have been looking for other LDS women!
