The Jabberwocky is a poem which was written about nonsense by Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland. It is probably the most famous poem about nonsense which has ever been written to date. The poem was in the novel from 1871, Through the Looking-Glass and it was also in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the book, What Alice Found There.
It is quite popular to be a poem basically about nothing at all. But then again, kids like nonsense and sometimes, adults do too. The type of nonsense found in this zany poem is much like the Alice in Wonderland books and movies - silly but meaningful at the same time in some weird and wacky kind of way. Jabberwocky is the same weird, wacky, and wonderful.
