help I'm trapped in this blog

and I thought this should be posted, as it hasn't to this point that I know of.

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe

Beware the jabberwock, my son
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious bandersnatch

He took his vorpal blade in hand
Long time the manxnome foe he sought
So rested he by the tumtum tree
And stood a while in thought

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The jabberwock, with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgy 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, calooh 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

-Lewis Carroll
