One, two! And through and through\\n The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!\\nHe left it dead, and with its head\\n He went galumphing back. \\n\\n\\u201cAnd hast thou slain the Jabberwock?\\n Come to my arms, my beamish boy!\\nO frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!\\u201d\\n He chortled in his joy.\\n\\n\\u2019T was brillig, and the slithy toves \\n Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;\\nAll mimsy were the borogoves,\\n And the mome raths outgrabe. \\n\\n\\nFor hundreds more poetry readings, visit the Classic Poetry Aloud index.\\n\\nReading \\xa9 Classic Poetry Aloud 2008'
