The Raven
Sesshoumaru Walking
By Vyperbites
‘Twas bringing and walking the slimy toads
Did Sesshoumaru and Ah-Un in the wave
All mystical were the borrowed roads
And his somber wraths out gave
“Beware the Naraku, my son!”
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the flying witch, and shun
The famous spider traps
He took his Bakusaiga in hand
Long time the murderous foe he sought
So rested Sesshoumaru by the Tree of life
And stood a while in thought
As if in deep thought he stood
The Naraku spider aflame
Came trampling through the tangled wood
And cackled as he came
One two! One two! And through and through
The demonic blade made bones to crack
He left Naraku dead, and with his head
He somberly walked back
And had he slain the Naraku?
You came to arms, oh handsome boy
O fabulous day! Hoorah! Hurray!
Jaken chortled in his joy
For it twas indeed bringing and walking the slimy toads
Did Sesshoumaru and Ah-Un in the wave
All mystical were the borrowed roads
And his somber wraths out gave
JABBERWOCKY
Lewis Carroll
(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)
`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.
