//------------------------------// // Some things never go away // Story: Dead Birds // by Stray Dog Kane //------------------------------// (The note on the clock changed to a poem and a song) "Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Gyre and gimble in the wabe; And mimsy are the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. Beware the Jab-Jab-Jabberwock. The Jubjub and the Bandersnatch! Oh manxome and frumious With the big claws that catch. "Beware the Jab-Jab-Jabberwock, That burbles in the tulgey wood! With eyes of flame he whiffles up Little girl who won't be good. "He's here, he's there, he's everywhere, So don't go out so uffishly Look out! He may be hiding there: Behind the Tumtum tree. "He's in, he's out, he's all about, He'll get you if you don't look out. That whiffling, burbling Jabberwock Beware the Jabberwock. (And with that, the clock exploded. It’s hands falling to the ground as gears flew from the face.) (Only mustard with fix that, but even hatters know that’s too silly!) The end.
