Weekly Scribblings -- Daring

from the Lewis Carol poem, Jabberwocky*

"One, two! One, two! And through and through

      The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, . . . "  Lewis Carol poem, Jabberwocky**

Daring to do right 

I came, I saw, dare I do him what's right?

Or do what the other kids were doing? 

The others were teasing him with a stick 

I decided to kill him dead, very

Very dead before he reproduces 

Somerton man*** vilest man on our earth 

He stole rooster chickens pulled off their heads 

Drank their blood while it was warm and gooey  

Milked cows in the fields force fed waiting ducks 

Made chicken pie for hungry China kids 

The cost is low for killing evil men

 - Notes:

   *""Jabberwocky" is a nonsense poem written by Lewis Carroll about the killing of a creature named "the Jabberwock". It was included in his 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass, the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). The book tells of Alice's adventures within the back-to-front world of Looking-Glass Land."  The Illustration was a part of the original publication. Wikipedia

   *** Somerton man - No one owns up to knowing the details of the unidentified "Somerton man", found dead in 1948 at Somerton Beach, Adelaide,  Australia.  IN MY WRITE TODAY I HAVE HIM AS A VISCOUS VILLAIN LOOSE ON THE STREETS.   This would be an extreme, he is being exhumed in an attempt to learn more about him using DNA related technology.

    "CNN - The children know the man whose portrait hangs above their playroom door as Mister S or Mister Somerton.

His real name remains a mystery more than 70 years after he was found dead in a smart brown suit on an Australian beach, a half-smoked cigarette resting on his collar." Read more at CNN
