In Truth, October 4, 1883, twenty-one imitations of the Jabberwocky were printed. They are now rather heavy reading, and only the two following seem worth reprinting:—
The Cruise of the “P. C.” By A. T.[9]
Across the swiffling waves they went,
The gumly bark yoked to and fro;
The jupple crew on pleasure bent,
Galored, “This is a go!”
Beside the poo’s’l stood the Gom,
He chirked and murgled in his glee;
While near him, in a grue jipom,
