Jabberwocky
by Lewis Carroll (Charles L.
Dodgson)
From Through the Looking-Glass,
1871 '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 claws 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--
So
rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in
thought.
And, as in uffish thought he
stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came
whiffling through the tulgey 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!
O
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.
Not a child's story at all...
:-)
Let's get back to
that Salmon story....
Why do Salmon span in a small stream grown
in the depths of the sea and then swim home to span and die?
You know why those salmon wait for cars to
pass before crossing the street? :-)
You may kill me but I will NOT die. Do you
know why?
Why is it easier and more effective to
skate backwards than forward?
When you can swim like a fish and meet me
upstream. I don't think you know how to swim up stream. You just
jump around or hick a rid on big fish. :-)

BOMBS Away, USA and make the whole
world crazy. Any day you may pay so get down on your knees and
pray
Please God hear my prayer. Make this madness clear the air.
Stop this genocide against these poor people.
Judica me, Deus, et discerne
causam meam
de gente non sancta: ab homine iniquo,
et
doloso erue me.

Democracy
A fanatical belief in
democracy
makes democratic institutions impossible.

Sycophant: A servile
self-seeker who attempts to win favor by flattering influential people
and bending to their will. This is why these people will
kill.
