For some reason, “Hunting of the Snark” comes to mind while reading this. 🙂
Your comment gives me an opportunity to read this gem, which I had somehow not encountered before now. What a delight. Thank you, Michael : )
My pleasure. It’s a fun and silly poem that ties in loosely to the Jabberwocky.
A beautiful and strong picture that I cannot unsea. 🙂
“…forgetting well enough to dream a boat…” my favorite. Thanks for the thought-provoking idea
Bruce, thank you for this. Wishing you a beautiful day : )
