This is my favorite poem.. the only one which I bothered to memorize completely.
Why? Well, there are a number of reasons for that!
Firstly, it makes no sense, it is covered with nonsensical terms which have no inner meaning whatsoever, and yet this amazing poem is known worldwide.
Secondly, it describes the triumph of good over evil, I know that there are many such pieces, but this one combines my favorite things when related to fighting evil- A monster, and a magical sword :)
Thirdly, but most importantly, this poem made an imprint on the world of literature. Not only is it a part of one of the most famous books in history, it also lead to the coining of many new words which ended up in the Oxford Dictionary!
I want to be able to do that. To make my mark on this world, to leave behind a legacy which people would cherish. I want to change somehting in this world, however small. I want to be remembered, to carve my niche on this Earth. That is my dream. To Be Unique.
Below is the entire poem completely memorised and written by me.
T'was Brillig and the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.

T'was Brillig and the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Beware the Jabberwock my son!
Of jaws that bite, and claws that snatch!
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!
One ,Two, One Two, and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Calooh Callay!
He chortled in his joy.
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
