Callooh Boo Hoo

The mashup no one asked for

By Meredith HarmonPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
I'm going to hell for this one...

Ain't no brillig when he's gone

Any time he goes to slay

Ain't no mimsy in the zone

The jubjub bird is all alone

When it's time to go and slay

*****

Vorpal blade's heavy as stone

No snicker-snack, and no callay

Slithy toves don't have a home

The wabes won't even roam

Any time he goes to slay

*****

And it's jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber,

Jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber,

Jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber,

Jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber,

Jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber, jabber,

Jabber, a-WOCK!

*****

Have you even seen a borogove?

Is a bander in the way? Uh-oh!

*****

Pain, it cuts right to the bone

My mome rath it won't outgrabe

My galumph has been and gone

Like a king without a throne

There just ain't no frabjous day

*****

Any time he goes to slay...

Any time he goes to slay...

Any time he goes to slay...

*****
