This poem is brilliant! I can't help but smile every time I read it. I've memorized it too. If you liked this poem, you might also like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat by Lewis Carroll:
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat,
How I wonder what your at,
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
(PS: I dare to read this out loud without laughing. It's next to impossible!) |

I love this poem and have it almost memorized. I think it is just rollicking good fun. Seher Arif, I wish you had been my high school English teacher. That is a terrific idea for kids to explore the poem. |

This is an exciting poem and fun to read. If you had to teach this poem, I guess one way of going about it would be to ask pupils to underline all of the made up words and replace them with other words (that exist in the dictionary) that are close to what Lewis Carroll is trying to convey. Any thoughts? |

I remember this poem from my secondery school days 54yrs ago at Beckfield Lane school York, the class was asked to read it out aloud one by one, when after a few attempts by various pupils, some were good readers, it was found that no one could compleat the first line, instead of explaining the words to us the teacher asked if anyone could read the poem, when no one could it was very upsetting for all as he was a very arrogant and awful teacher, he spent the rest of that class telling us that we were all useless. But now after finding it on the poem Finder I can learn it myself and explain it to my grandchildren. Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. A poem to consider learning. |

this to me is the most delicious example of how intent can be used to relate meaning outside of content. (Having just been somewhat incoherent myself, I guess this could be a poor example of the same- sigh.) |
