Today in the Land of Jamaa, we have a returning item: The Heart Glasses! These clothing items are sold in Jam Mart Clothing for only 150 gems! Be sure to get a pair of these glasses if you like them- I know that a certain fox does!

Next, I have another curious question. What makes you happy? What makes you smile? What makes you laugh? Answer these three questions in the comments, and I might just have something special for you in a future post... So get commenting!
And now it is time for the factual part of this post:
Our wondrous word of the day:
Jabberwocky: Meaningless nonsensical speech; jibber-jabber.
So balderdash can be created using jabberwocky!
Did you know that there is actually a poem called the Jabberwocky? We had to study it at school.
A duck's quack never echoes anywhere. Ever. Never. Never ever. And no one knows why.
That is a terrifying thought... Maybe that is why some people develop anatidaephobia!
Good Smarts!

Silly word :P
ReplyDeleteWe had to memorize the Jabberwocky (by Lewis Carroll) for school:
ReplyDeleteTwas' brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the home raths outgrabe
Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that snatch
Beware the jub-jub bird and shun
The frumious bandersnatch!
He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought!
So rested he by the tum-tum tree
And stood awhile in thought
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came.
One, two, one, two, and through and through!
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack
He left it dead and with its head
He came galumphing back.
And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day, callooh, callay!
He chortled in his joy.
Twas' brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
It's a strange poem. Can't believe I still remember it.

Oh, oh! Is the Jabberwocky related to the original Alice in Wonderland in a way? Because I swear, that poem seems familiar to me. And I was learning about Alice in Wonderland when I learned the poem. (I think. :p)
DeleteYes, the Jabberwocky is a creature in Wonderland, I think.
Deletethe duck fact is actually a myth
