‘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!”
(applause)
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.
(applause)
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.
(applause)
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
(applause)
What, no pictures of Michael Palin in the gallery?
I didn’t understand what was going on when I read the first block of text
The Sermon on the Mound.
Awesome.
You missed some of the best parts…..
BO: “I had scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast”
WILD APPLAUSE !!!!!!!!!
BO: “Then I took a crap”
WILD APPLAUSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
But seriously. Like watching an old vampires convention. So I didn’t bother.
Honestly, they(the dems) think they can just paste a bunch of ‘good’ sounding crap that is total bullshit together and it’ll be good enough for most people. Unfortunately it is.
HA!! In the poetry section of 8th grade English we had to recite many poems, and our final was to recite one of our own choosing. I chose “The Jabberwocky” because… well… it’s cool. Thanks, Basil, for a blast from the past (although poor Lewis Carroll might not like your use of his work).
[If Charles Lutwidge Dodgson were alive today, he’s probably be too busy defending himself against child pornography charges to worry about someone as insignificant as little ol’ me. Still, the man could write. – B]
Every now and then you guys out-do yourselves. This is one of those times.
I could have sworn I saw Pelosi manipulating some puppet strings. Every time she jumped up–she was pulling the wind up string.
Sadly, your transcript makes more sense than President Hussein’s pinko gibberish. The Dow would have probably gained a couple of hundred points had the Big 0 actually recited “jabberwocky”.
There should really be a warning to remove children from the room before reading this post. Those images are disgusting and vile, and should not be looked upon by children. Really, they could be scarred for life.
Through the Looking Glass. How appropriate for the times we live in…
#9 beat me to the punch. I was going to say that this version of the speech actually made more sense than the real one.
Thanks for the laugh, Basil.
A PARLIMENT OF WHORES
Do whores really deserve that strong of an insult, #14?
Pelosi must of had an electronic device installed in her chair, with an Obama aid secretly assigned to push a button that sent a small harmless but painful electrical charge her way each time Obama made a point. Zap…leap and applaud! Zap…leap and applaud! The most ironic of her sudden leaps from her seat was when Obama said CEO’s could no longer take federal money and still get bonuses or take expensive junkets, or otherwise waste any tax payer provided money. Her show of support for oppressed taxpayers comes after her return from Italy. A trip that did zero good for the nation and wasted God knows how much in tax payer dollars. Meanwhile Joe The Vice President looked like he was half asleep. Next speech they should put the device in his chair.
Obama could say anything and the liberal lemmings and dolts will applaud. Hell, he could fart into teh microphone and the Obamunists would be giving him a standing ovation.
That IS one silthy bunch of toves,
intent on making each day
less frabjous than the last.
The Jabberwock, here, is the American free market economy.
Not dead yet, but the snicker-snack of vorpal swords
is carving it up.
Keep over reaching , you mimsy borogoves, your end will come,
you can’t fool all the people all of the time, and soon, you won’t even be able to fool the 52% you did in November.
Dangit, now I’m hungry for a Snicker snack. :o(
#17, Atomic Lib Smasher; In essence, wasn’t that exactly what happened?
I love this series of pictures. In the background, Joe looks like he keeps nodding off. Nancy retains the demon stare (a must to feed words into Obamapuppet’s head). The entire audience looks like they’ve had an overdose of Kool-aid, and applause when the prompter tells them to. The only thing left out would be Sorros standing behind “O” with his hand shoved up “The One’s” rectum performing a ventriloquist act…after all, that’s pretty much what’s happening.
#20 To Eros…
As a matter of fact, ya may be right. Obama kind of does look like Howdy Doody…
Okay, it’s now official……………..this is THE best political site in cyber-space. Keep up the good work. I will help to spread the word about IMAO.
Jabberwocky makes far more sense than BHusseinO’s speech did.
This poem only serves to remind me of the Jabbawockeez, which only serve as nightmare fuel.
Of course, the Democrats also serve as nightmare fuel.
Thanks a bunch Basil. That was one of my favorite poems and now every time I hear it I’ll think of O’vomit, Bidet and Putrid precious pants. I’m afraid to ask, what’s next?
I guess we’ll save “The Walrus and the Carpenter” till next year. You know the ending: “they’d eaten every one.”
Having already conscripted the Caterpillar to their cause (“Words mean exactly what I want them to mean, no more and no less.” along with the Red Queen, “Off with their heads!…Sentence first, then trial!”) the rest of the Carol canon cannot be safe much longer.
Best speech I ever read. Thank you for that, Basil!
