It was the glen of jabberwocky, Deep within the twaddle mire. The gobbledygook was being spewed By the grand codswallop, The tripe was drivel And all manner of blethered haver Did most piffle & bosh. The great imperial hooey of guff-phooey Visited with bunk, There was to be a festivity of the tommyrot; On the morrow we would dribble bull Till the cobblers called tosh, **** cod, And said their applesauce. No malarkey here crosses their fingers, For all the liars have bellywash And work the flapdoodle with bunkum & bushwa. All the poppycocks we laid out For the celebration of the gibberish, When mumbo jumbo hung a more, Low & long. On the fens of the balderdash, At the mouth of the babble, We sang the song of argle-bargle By our native tongue jargon. It was first rate flummery By the standards of the order of palaver, The prime wheedlers of gab & fanster.
