Sorry for this short post, but I *swear* the first thing I read was 
"Are you on crack?"  I burst out laughing (because I almost agreed 
with this faux-statement... the Jabberwocky is extremely long as is 
the W&tC) and then realized that I'd misread.  Too bad... my hubby 
tends to say this to me jokingly... like when I mentioned that we 
should have another baby... or I should quit my job and stay home 
with Ginger... 

Jen (who made her welfare-to-work students read BOTH those poems... 
as both a reading exercise and an intro to poetry.  They didn't like 
them... I mean, please... they read on a 2nd grade level already, LC 
is not quite easy to read if you have trouble reading things like 
"often" or "variety".  They were frankly puzzled when they read about 
things like slithy toves.  Of course they did like Alice's commentary 
on it.)

ps.  just realized my parenthetical aside was just as long as my main 
post... I apologize.
