Erica Sisavat, teaches a poetry class at Imagine!'s CORE/Labor Source Program in Longmont. She shared the following poem that blossomed from the shared imaginations of Dawn, Neal and Autumn, after studying the “Jabberwocky” in Erica’s class. We hope that you enjoy the following poem titled “Slurpy in the Woods, with the Bogre, and the Wooker.

The above "Jabberwocky" illustration comes from John Tenniel.

Slurpy in the Woods, with the Bogre, and the Wooker

The bogre went blurpy

Through the thistleweed

It tickled his lurp and he blurped

Thappy was he

He meets the wooker in the woods

They bliply went glurp about their day

And wavelled in the sun

You can tell by the way they herp

That they were wide awake

Out there in the forest of feelings

We hear a plurp, plurp, plurp

They saw a care-a-lot

Swing a big sword

They hurt, the luppy lumps

The luppy lumps, they yissed

And yaddelled

“Watch out for the sword”!

The bogre and the wooker ran

In a cabin in the woods

They locked the door with a key

And safe and sound were they

As they breathed a sigh of relief

Thank you Dawn, Neil, and Autumn for sharing your creativity with us!
