Britfan Wrote:As a fellow AD&Der in my uni days I love the Vorpal idea
He took his Vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the tum-tum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
As in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock! With eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgeywood
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 went galumphing back.

The Jabberwocky is the only poem I ever cared about enough to memorize. It is so cool. That's just a part of it, of course, but the pertinent parts that contain the word "Vorpal."
