Boojum...? Boojum was a Snark…?

Snark’s now Boojum…{question mark}

Parts aortal gone awry…?

(Baker’ll find out by and by.)

 

Bellman navs with vacant maps.

(Is that Bellman mad…? Perhaps.)

What does ‘Boojum’ even mean…?

Who might fathom where it's been…?

 

“Sought with thimbles, sought with care.

Threaten’d with a railway-share.

Hunted down with forks and hope.

Charm’d, as well, with smiles and soap.”

 

What does Rev’rend Carroll think…?

Does the Rev’rend take to drink…?

Does to swine Lew cast these pearls…?

Has Lew quit on Liddle girls…?

 

Bellmen, Brokers, Barristers,

Bonnet makers (hims, not hers),

Brokers, Bankers, Boots…plus three.

(Snark does not begin with B.)

 

Boojum...? Boojum was a Snark…?
