Loosely based on Lewis Carrol’s Jabberwocky
’Twas brillig, and the witless droves
Did cry and moan for all their jabs:
All flimsy from no questions sought,
Minds mere slush from TV bought.
“Beware the Jab they give, my friend!
The nano byte, the genes they change!
Beware the Jabjab Gates, and shun
The spurious Wancock lad!”
He took the veinous jab in hand;
Long time the witless peeps he sought
Treasuring all the shares he held
And vested interests he had bought.
And, as in hellish thought he mused,
The P.U.B., with eyes of flame,
Cut swiftly through the B.S. used,
And giggled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The Sword of Truth went snicker-snack!
No jury will deny, evidence so damning true
Would ever save this pack.
“And hast thou slain those Cocky Four?
Come to our arms, our beamish braves!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
A grateful world burst forth in joy.
’Twas brillig, and the witless droves
Now banished to their chosen hell:
All whimsey were the wise and true,
And those their warnings heeded.
