Uly Does Theodor* Does Lewis**: More Poetical "Snark" Takes

     * Theodor Geisel aka Dr. Seuss, creator of "Green Eggs and Ham"

     ** Lewis Carroll, composer of "The Hunting of the Snark"


     Fit the Third: The Baker’s Tale


The ordinary Snark I like.

I like it when it's open mic.

I like it when it sings its song.

I like it when it sings it wrong.

 

The Snark turn’d Boojum I dislike.

(I much prefer the northern pike.)

No Boojum’d Snarks book'd 'board the Ark.

I do not like that Boojum’d Snark.

 

The customary Snark I like.

I like it like I once liked Ike.

I like its back. I like its front.

I like it ‘cuz it’s fun to hunt.

 

The Snark cum Boojum I can’t stand.

You'll spot few Snarks in Wonderland.

Snark’s claws will clutch, as well Snark's jaw’ll.

I Boojum’d Snarks don't like...at all.

Musician! Grab,

     Before it’s dark,

          Your tuba, for*

               To clock the Snark!

                    * Your two-by-four

 

                In Myanmar,

          Rohingyas rave,

     “Don’t lather me

With Burma Shave!”

 

Transsexuals

     Who’d sheckles save

          From barbers beg

               “A perm! A shave!”

 

               All Boojum’d Snarks

          Must misbehave.

     Thus fade all Bakers.

(Burma Shave!)
