I haven't read Jabberwocky in about 20 years, I think, and I don't
have a copy here (a sad deficiency in my library!), but don't you want
three blanks in the last line?  From (ancient) memory, isn't it:

'Twas _brillig_, and the _slithy_ _toves_
Did _gyre_ and _gimble_ in the _wabe_.
All _mimsy_ were the _borogoves_ (borogroves?)
And the _mome_ _raths_ _outgabe_.


Isn't-it-weird-having-a-mind-like-a-landfill-ly y'rs,
