Breakfast Under the Tum-Tum Tree

  Illustration from The Jabberwocky

by Lewis Carroll 1871

‘Twas brillig and the slithy toves did…

Oh, crap, who am I kidding?

‘Twasn’t brillig at all, not

on this very un-frabjous day, and

there is not one freaking slithy tove in sight.

Instead what's here is this giant bandersnatch

who galumphed in from the wabe

with no interest at all in the gyre and gimble

and one hell of a frumious appetite.

You thought the Jabberwock was bad?

Oh, man, you have no idea. The only uffish thought

this Bandersnatch has is – one two! one-two! – how to

ruin my day and steal my callooh, callay away.

Not today, big boy. I’m going back to bed.
