Lewis Carroll Goes Spiritual

Off all today, so last night we were drinking a few when an epiphany ensconced my vacationing mind.

It came to me that Lewis Carroll's poem Jabberwocky can be sung to the tune of Amazing Grace!!

I hope you enjoy this video that puts a musical spin on my week of banality.

And Knight, once again, you get to you enjoy my midwest accent that you seem to love so much.



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

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!...

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

Flesh-Fest 2 has begun, but when not drenched in carnal sweat, I will be around.


Cheers!!
