"Jábrwokey" biy Lewis Carroll

Twuz brílig, and du slíydey toevz 
Did giyr and gímbl in du wayb. 
Ol mímzy wur du bórugoevz 
And du moem rathz owtgráyb

"Beywér du jábrwok, miy sun, 
Du joz dat biyt, du teyth dat kach. 
Beywér du júbjub burd and shun 
Du fróomyus bándrsnach."

Hey tuuk hiz vórpl sord in hand, 
Long tiym du mánksoem foe hey sot, 
Den réstid hey biy du túmtum trey, 
And stuud uwíyl in thot.

And az in úfish thot hey stuud, 
Du jábrwok, with iyz uv flaym 
Kaym wífling throo du túulgey wuud 
And búrbld az it kaym.

Wun too, wun too, and throo and throo, 
Du vórpl blayd went sníkr-snak. 
Hey left it ded, and with itz hed, 
Hey went gulúmfing bak.

"And hast dow slayn du jábrwok? 
Kum too miy armz, miy béymish boy! 
Oe frábjus day! Kulóo! Kuláy!" 
Hey chórtld in hiz joy.

Twuz brílig, and du slíyxey toevz 
Did giyr and gímbl in du wayb 
Ol mímzy wur du bórugoevz 
And du moem rathz owtgráyb

Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son
The jaws that bite, the teeth 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,
Then rested he by the tum-tum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgy wood,
And burbled as it came.

One two, one two, and through and through,
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack.
He left it dead, and with its head,
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
