Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll

[@ughettapbacon]

Oh yes please proceed.

We now need an episode breaking down the Vorpal Laserblaster of Pittenweem!

[@jon-paulfilkins7820]

Years ago I had the pleasure of hearing a bard recite it in Welsh, a fascinating if odd experience. Later he talked about the troubles of translating it into another language trying to keep rough meaning and the touch of whimsey, an "in spirit" translation if you will. of course since then I wondered if anyone has translated it to one of the "constructed" languages, like one of Tolkien's or even Klingon!

Given the autists on your planet, I have little doubt.

[@Nifylau]

I'd love to hear that!

[@paulthiessen6444]

When I was 12 we had this as song in a choir

[@ruthbarron625]

Brilliant. I love it.

[@lordfrostwind3151]

And i thought Fox In Socks was darn near impossible to read outloud, got nothing on Jabberwocky.

[@tarmaque]

I'm gonna name my first son "Vorpal." He'll hate me for it.

[@SacredCowShipyards]

Yes. Yes he will.

[@lordfrostwind3151]

Could be worse, could name him Sue.

[@tarmaque]

@@lordfrostwind3151 Uncle Johnny made me promise never to do that.

That assumes I ever had one.
