Jabberwocky is a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll in his 1871 novel Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, a sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland . The book tells of Alice's adventures within the back-to-front world of a looking glass.
In an early scene in which she first encounters the chess piece characters White King and White Queen. Alice finds a book written in a seemingly unintelligible language. Realising that she is travelling through an inverted world, she recognises that the verse on the pages are written in mirror-writing. She holds a mirror to one of the poems, and reads the reflected verse of "Jabberwocky". She finds the nonsense verse as puzzling as the odd land she has passed into, later revealed as a dreamscape.
Jabberwocky is considered one of the greatest nonsense poems written in English.

Jabberwocky
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the boregoves,
And the mome rathes outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the clews 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 Tomtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in offish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgay wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, too! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snacker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumping back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Collay!”
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.
