Although the poem of the Jabberwocky is about a fearsome beast slain by a vorpal blade, the first and last stanza are about something else entirely.

T'was - It Was
Brillig - Brilliant
and the Silithy - Slick and Slippery
Toves - most think 'troves' as in treasure, but Lewis Carrol was a Symbolic Mathematician, so Two V's, as in Two Vectors.
did'st - Did (past tense)
Gyre and - Turn
Gimbal - Twist
in the Wabe. - Plot surrounding a Sun Dial, hence Time
All Mimsy - Bemused, slightly amused in a befuddled manner.
were the Borogroves - a Borogrove is someone who is content with their lot in life and wishes no change.
and the Mome - Silent
Wrathes - Wraiths... insubstantial beings
Outgrabe. - Left by an unexpected path.

Thus the translated poem reads:

It Was Brilliant how the two vectors did turn and twist in time, happy were the stay-at-homes as the silent travelers passed by.

In other words... Mr Carrol was speaking in symbolic logic phrases about Time Travelers.

Just my thoughts,
Speaking Frank-ly



Patriarcha Alduñar

'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 hast 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.

Tribute to Benedict Cumberbatch:

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy, Otter
Did spin and play in the river;
mimsy was Shere Khan in the water,
And the Grinch did Deliver.

Beware the Benedict, my son!
The Cheekbones Sharp, the Looks that Catch!
Beware the Sherlock and the Smaug,
The mighty Cumberbatch!

He took his Magic Sling in hand;
Long time, the time loop he sought—
So rested he in the, Sanctum Sanctorum,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood standing,
Khan, with Eyes of Flame,
Came whiffling through the Enterprise Halls Demanding,
And Ran as he Came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The phaser in hand went pew-pew!
Left for dead, and with it’s End in Stasis,
He went back to Basics.

"And hast thou slain the CumberBatch?
Oh no foolish child,
Many a people he acted, you are no match,”
And with that Benedict smiled.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy, Otter
Did spin and play in the river;
mimsy was Shere Khan in the water,
And the Grinch did Deliver.

It’s cool that they were able to get the actual Frumious Bandersnatch to read this

OWellWellWell

It doesn't matter the amount of misspelling everyone will always know it's Benedict kimbersnap

MrParkerman6

Bandersnatches aren't Frumious, Comids are!

Pixelmace

@MrParkerman6 be sure not to get Comid-19

A.k.a., Bandersnatch Cummerbund. As he has been called before.

Weirdest jumble of words ever + Benedict Cumberbatch’s voice = masterpiece

He tells this to his children at bedtime.

So he can pronounce all the gibberish in this poem but can't say penguins 😂👏🏻

Dragon249

Well, he butchered "borogoves", too. He added an extra 'r' to make it "borogroves".

Julie At Home

Except the word borogoves lol
