Shun the bandersnatch

I normally listen to my old iPod Shuffle during my commute. However, in a fit of self-preservation, it has decided that it will no longer work in the rain. So this morning, after passing Glabe Lane and thinking, as I do each day, that the word Glabe appears in Jabberwocky, I tried reciting the poem during my ride to work.

Well... it turns out the slithy toves gyred and gimbled in the WABE. And the mome raths outGRABE. And when I rejoiced at my memory that you're supposed to beware the bandersnatch, you're actually supposed to shun it. So really, it turns out I just remembered a word here and a word there, not full passages.

But I was amused, which is something.

Also, I got to smell tons of dill while passing the community garden where the rain knocked the scent out of the plants. That was a surprising discovery.

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
