Subject: RE: BS: How are the wabes where you live?
Twis brillig, an' thon slithy toves
Did gyre an' gimball in yon wabe
A' mimsy wir yon borogroves
An' they momeraths ootgrabe.

Bewaur thon Jabberwock wee man
Ra jaws whit bite, they claws whit catch
Bewaur ra JubJub burd,
An' shun ra frumious Bandersnatch

He took his vorpal shiv in haun'
Lang time ra manky foe he socht
Sae lowsed he, by yon TumTum tre
An' stood a wee in thocht

An' as in uffish thocht he stood
Ra Jabberwock wi een o' flame
Cam whifflin' through yon tulgy wood
An' burbled as it cam.

Wan twa wan twa, an' through an' through
His vorpal shiv went snicker snack
He left it deid an' wi' it's heid
He went galumphin' back.

An' hiv ye slain yon Jabberwock
Och cam tae ma airms ya gallus boy
Colloo callay o' frabjous day
He chortled in his joy

Twis brillig an' they slithy toves
Did gyre an' gimball in yon wabe
A' mimsy wir ra borogroves,
An' they momeraths ootgrabe.

Thought I'd try to render it in my native tongue.
