There is a "proper" French version of Jabberwocky, as well as a Latin version; I remember calligraphing Jaseroque for my elder brother about 25 years ago. It runs (and actually makes a fair amount of sense in French) as follows:

Jaseroque

Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave. Enmîmés sont les gougebosqueux Et le mômerade horsgrave.

<>

Son glaive vorpal en main, il va- T-à la recherche du fauve manscant; Puis arrivé à l'arbre Té-té, Il y reste, réfléchussant.

Pendant qu'il pense, tout uffusé, Le Jaseroque, à l'oeil flambant, Vient siblant par le bois tullegeais, Et burbule en venant.

Un deux, un deux, par le milieu, Le glaive vorpal fait pat-à-pan! La bête défaite, avec sa tête, Il rentre gallomphant.

<> Il cortule dans sa joie.

Il brilgue: les tôves lubricilleux Se gyrent en vrillant dans le guave. Enmîmés sont les gougebosqueux Et le mômerade horsgave.

My cats aren't gassy - they just have bad breath when they get fish too often. Dad's Low-Ash Gourmet dry catfood does it for them, plus a slice of Velveeta each day for the geriatric 18-year-old calico.
