-= Jabberwocky =-
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.
"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.

....

There's an excellent homage to this poem in Roger Zelazny's "Amber Series", Book 8 or 9, I think. The main character and a friend are trapped in a Carrollesque world, hanging out at a bar and drinking with the Cheshire cat, the hatter and all the other Muppets. The vorpal sword is hanging at the wall in the bar. The party is crashed by a number of creatures... including a Jabberwock.
"O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
EDIT:
It was "Sign of Chaos":

I wanted to write an insanely brilliant and witty comment, but I decided not to. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm 6'2"
I live in Phoenix, AZ
there are so many 5' tall hispanic people..
I am also skinny.
I've been thinking about applying for minority status in my country.
There are so many obese people in this country, they say it's an epidemic.
some people say I probably won't get it because I'm white.. but descrimination goes beyond color.

Damn man, you're short! According to the online calculator thing I found, I'm 6.5616 ft. From what I've seen, there's only one person in town taller than me and he's some bloke from Sudan. I'd challenge him to a fight but people would think it was racially motivated rather than height motivated.
I'm not thin though, I'm trying to get there but for the moment there's more of me to love. Well okay, lets be relaistic, there's more of me to see in a mirror and trigger a depressive fit...
