'Twas brillig, and the slithy toads,
Did gire and gimble in the Wabe.
All mimsy were the borogroves,
And the momerats ausgabe.

Lewis Carroll makes more sense than our Pretend POTUS!

I've often wondered if the nonsense words in The Jaberwocky are not some some obscure Victorian slang. In fact, the whole poem sounds suspiciously like a Victorian Canting Song. For example, take a look at "Villon's Straight Tip to All Cross Coves" which is linked below, and note the similarities
