Go ask Alice...

What do all the strange words mean in today's poem, Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll? Quite a few are just made up and mean nothing, while the meaning of some could be as clear as common words like "smog" and "stacation". Better that I leave the full explanations to the experts.

My introduction to this poem came in school and it is one of the earliest poems I committed to memory. We didn't have as clear an explanation as to the meaning, however.

Enjoy
