                                          Jabberwcky- Lewis Carroll:
Meaningless speech                                        Diathesis- Towards abnormality                                                                                                              
So there I am
                              
Inheritance holds my hand
A wedding band the gift.
Thus the crown of horses round
That brooks my eerie looks.
    
And so my grit has turned to wit
A big chide by my side
I can't abide the devilment
That jabberwcky's fly

I am a tender soul I am
Although I look rotund
And I suffer from this buffer
Care naught for glibers tongue.

I say in re: those surf and see
Eye not or judge by glance
There's no normal diathesis
In trancendentals dance.
