http://www.jabberwockypoem.com - Jabberwocky the poem, written by Lewis Carroll, a song by Bella. This Jabberwocky music video, predominantly shot on Christmas Day 2009 in Central Park New York with Alice, represents the passion Bella has for Carroll's Alice in Wonderland - Through The Looking Glass and the importance of youthful imagination. Having spent some childhood years at this statue each day, Bella first recited this poem in grade 6 and it is obviously still a favourite today.

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)
from Through the Looking Glass

Jabberwocky

'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 wiffling 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! 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.

  • Hi. It's Richard from the Samy's camera GoPro experience. If only you were in LA longer I would introduce you to a character you would surely love. Look for Dubcin productions on you tube and trip out. Nice job with the video

  • UGHHH!!!!! I ABSOLUTLY DESPISE THIS SONG!!!!

  • Great to see how differently people interpret this fabulous poem. I did it once in DADDAD tuning on my acoustic guitar in punk style along the lines of the Sex Pistols' - mental!

  • I love how this sounds more like a ballad than a frightening song. Your take on The Jabberwocky was definately interesting and refreshing.

  • are u a midget?
