  1. For some reason, “Hunting of the Snark” comes to mind while reading this. 🙂

    1. Your comment gives me an opportunity to read this gem, which I had somehow not encountered before now. What a delight. Thank you, Michael : )

      1. My pleasure. It’s a fun and silly poem that ties in loosely to the Jabberwocky.

  2. A beautiful and strong picture that I cannot unsea. 🙂
