[ROLCAM]

Poem Text ( First and last paragraph of this poem).

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Would anyone translate this in simple English PLEASE!
It is NOT homework.
I would just like to understand it.

Roland.

Hi, ROLCAM!

There's lots of information about it that can be found on the following site.

Jabberwocky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's basically up to the imagination of the reader as to what some of the words mean.

Thanks!

Jabberwocky was kind of meant to be nonsensical and weird... I don't think there's a good "English" translation.

I always loved this part in Through the Looking Glass...
