>BTW, is your sig quoted from Finnigan's Wake? I actually got about a third of the way through it before giving up. Always meant to go back and try again...

Poem Jabberwocky, book "Behind the Looking-Glass" (continuation of Alice in Wonderland), by Charles Doggson (alias Lewis Carol). You can find the poem, and an explanation by Humpty-Dumpty, at http://www.library.utoronto.ca/utel/rp/poems/carroll6.html.

I also highly recommend "The hunting of the Snark", which is linked from there. "...You will softly and suddenly vanish away, and never be met with again!" It is a long poem, though; 564 lines; it is a lot of fun reading.

There are a few other, shorter poems, mainly from Alice in Wonderland.
1     "You are old, father William," the young man said,
2         "And your hair has become very white;
3     And yet you incessantly stand on your head --
4         Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
...
Of course, if you could read the complete books, that would be even better. Very fun reading, both Alice in Wonderland and Behind the Looking-Glass.

Hilmar.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
