Introduction

I was out of Region 5/Babylon. Al Kut / FOB Delta, Phil R. was TL, some of my colleagues were Kolin Z. from Tx, Rand W. & Larry W. from Ga, Dan T. from Co. We ran the DSTaRC program as well as worked out of Kut, As Suwayrah, Numaniyah, Badrah, Iskandriyah, Aziziya, COP Summers, JSS Zulu, FOB Kalsu. We got around.

'
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.



"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"


He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe

One of my absolute favorite poems ever (not that you could tell). Charles Lutwidge Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll was an absolute and unmitigated genius. He was pretty darn smart too.
