Impressions
(Appears in "Cheshire", Chapter Eight: Cheshire, Your Cohort in Mischief)
Inspired by Jabberwocky, a poem by Lewis Carroll
'Twas Brillig, and the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe!
The Jabber-wok-ee! Ooh, I'm so impressed,
So scared of your little contest that you play with me.
It makes me happy,
Feels me with joy,
don't you have some other toy?
To tease me, mock me, push me around with?
Or are you a one trick pony?
That bucks, whines, and acts like a witch?
Have you no sense of mind?
You see, you cannot kill a shadow such as I!
Who moves quick and agile,
My species hath declared it,
While sit there and reprimand it.
Jabber-wok-ee! Ooh, I'm so impressed,
Haven't you figured out a way to kill us yet?
With your slime and your grime so damning
You sit there in your head,
Forcefully planning.
Churning out ways which to do us in,
Devour us perhaps,
Or clothe us in sin?
To you Red Queen,
You vicious creature!
You sold your soul to spirits,
To change your demeanor!
Black heart and crooked knife
You killed the King in the night
And spread fear and fright
To all of us!
But you are haunted by ghosts
Who plan to do justice,
Set the world right.
So go ahead Jabberwocky!
Slay, slay, slay I say!
Do it 'til the new morning,
I don't fucking care!
You haven't killed me yet,
and you have lost the bet.
'Twas Brillig, and the slithy toves,
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe!
(The first and last stanzas are from Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll. I did not come up with them, I am not stealing them, I am simply using them for storytelling purposes. I do not own the Cheshire Cat, The Red Queen, or the Jabberwocky. Those characters and the stories affilated with them belong to the original author (Lewis Carroll) and the affiliations associated with the original author's name. My sole intention is to add or to present the cannon in a different way)
Other than the first and last stanza (which is explained in the above notice), this poem is original.
The fourth stanza is a reference to Shakespeare's Macbeth (I reference Macbeth a lot just because I know the play well)
If you wish to use it (for any reason) please ask me first.
Thank you for reading.
The above poem, "Impressions" appears in the story "Cheshire" in Chapter Eight: Cheshire, Your Cohort in Mischief
