Here's the way I see it, no-one in their right mind would attempt to write anything along the lines of Mr. Lewis Carroll's work. I guess that just about covers it. Doc. " The Vorpal Sword " In Thylis where the Shimabe lad did dream of gembly in the bawe the Shiffu Gultey manned the forge to smelt the steel of Omem Thraw Gwiffhiln the skercin canks ye groobs and mind the mufrious chardenbants for we shall fire the Jubbjo ore to throw the "Jabberwock" askance 'Tis in this land of yesteryore before the time of Ut Mumt Reet the Jafbrous Buldres knew the way to gorf the "Wocky" off its feet and so it came " The Vorpal Sword " with which to slay halgluming beast was anxmome verg in hicken wast beagrout challoo, yallac, 'til ceased " The Vorpal Sword " now fully formed cheltord the evots for in fact in honor of its author first apologies for all this lacks In Thylis where the Shimabe lad did dream of gembly in the bawe the Shiffu Gultey manned the forge to smelt the steel of Omem Thraw [This message has been edited by Dr.Moose1 (05-06-2008 03:29 PM).] |

I completely agree with your opening comment  In your profile comments you state Do I merely echo what has been said before ? This poem answers that question with a resounding NO!!!  |

Bobby, Lol, a tasty treat, or so I'm told. Thanks, Doc Balladeer, Thank you kind sir. I wouldn't recommend this to the faint of heart, I'm pretty sure it may have caused further permanent damage. Doc Karen, Thanks, believe it or not, I think this was caused by "relative sobriety" (a state I'm not all that familiar with, but, I do know that it's not in Kansas anymore .)Be well, Doc Ida, Lol, I assure you, no illegal substances were harmed in the making of this .Thanks, Doc Rick, Thanks, o.k., I'll bite. Doc Steavnr, Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it. Doc Thanks again to all the above. This proved to be more of a challenge than I first envisioned it. To begin, it's quite daunting to even attempt to emulate poets of this order. Add to that Mr. Dodgsons' uncanny ability to make sense out of gibberish, his skill at word play and other writing talents, and the task becomes mind-boggling. Fortunately, my mind came "pre-boggled", so all I did was make anagrams of the twenty-nine words Mr. Dodgson invented and then sprinkled them throughout the poem to try to tell the tale of how the "Vorpal Sword" may have come into being ( in case you were wondering ).
