âJabberwockyâ is one of the most well-known nonsense poems in the English language. Though full of playful made-up words like âbrillig,â âmimsy,â and frumious,â the poem still tells a story. A young warrior faces up against the fearsome Jabberwock, armed with a âvorpal blade,â and comes out triumphant: âO frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!â This poem first appeared in the middle of Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, Carrollâs follow-up to the well-beloved childrenâs classic Aliceâs Adventures in Wonderland.
