Anagrammy Awards > Literary Archives > Various Authors
These are from the fourth Awardsmaster's Challenge in April 2001. The challenge was to anagram the first stanza of Jabberwocky into a "translation" of Carroll's nonsense original, keeping to the original metre and rhyme as much as possible. |
Original text in yellow, anagram in pink.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves |
He, Lewis, grabbed the vibrant role, |
||
I'm the Revd. Lutwidge Dodgson, |
'Twas hell: the bawdy virile boys |
||
One day, Larry the Bushbrash, |
Would Lewis/Morse investigate, |
||
Behold, two noble boys we omitted, |
The stud drives home this gender toy |
||
'Twas gribly, and the mervil simes |
'Twas Bob Dog and his silly troves |
||
I never enter words when sloshed, |
'Twas brilliant when the slimy toads |
||

Lewis (embalmed blind by gin) |

"Oh, Anagrams," reverent Lewis notes, |
||
My mind's agog with nonsense, see? |
The 'gerbils', 'rabbits', in the gram |
||
'Twas twilight, and the Lovelet boys |
A mid-morning, my sweet brother |
||
Last White House Senior Orgy meal, |
Delighted by amanita mushroom's high, |
||
Lewis wants a girl, thirteen-years-old, |
