Jabberwookie

`Twas brillig, and the slithy hutt
Did loaf and grumble in its lair:
All mimsy were the tribe of Fett,
And the womp rats ensnare.

“Beware the Jabberwook, my son!
The mane that waves, the height that stoops!
Beware the Sarlacc pit, and shun
The fumious bantha poop!”

He took his saber blade in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought –
Once rested uncle in tauntaun corpse,
He sat awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwook, with eyes aghast,
Came whiffling through Starkiller wood,
And trilled as it passed!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The saber blade went snicker-snack!
He cut his dad, and things got sad
He went galumphing back.

“And, has thou seen the Jabberwook?
Flee his arms, you darkside bane!
O crapjous day! Boohoo! No way!”
He chortled in his pain.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy hutt
Did loaf and grumble in its lair;
All mimsy were the tribe of Fett,
And the womp rats ensnare.

Ahh, great minds. :slight_smile: Love it!

YES.

Now with 100% more strawberries than an average poetry jam.

The ewe is especially sweet. All the other sheep really like spending time with her.

Here’s Blake’s full poem:

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

When the stars threw down their spears
And water’d heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Nidhogg gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil.

Relativity.

There was a young lady named Bright
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.
