Jabberwocky Variations – Der Zipferlake – Von Christian Enzensberger

Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)

Verdaustig war’s, und glaße Wieben
rotterten gorkicht im Gemank.
Gar elump war der Pluckerwank,
und die gabben Schweisel frieben.

»Hab acht vorm Zipferlak, mein Kind!
Sein Maul ist beiß, sein Griff ist bohr.
Vorm Fliegelflagel sieh dich vor,
dem mampfen Schnatterrind.«

Er zückt’ sein scharfgebifftes Schwert,
den Feind zu futzen ohne Saum,
und lehnt’ sich an den Dudelbaum
und stand da lang in sich gekehrt.

Blades in the Dark Session report:
My vorpal sword went snicker-snack!
I left it dead, and with its head I went galumphing back!

Despite the jabberwock's rude interruptions, we re-sited the route of the new lightning rails, and returned "safe" from the Lost District.

»#vorpal«. I heard that before. And now i read it in a poem.
Maybe i should look it up in a dictionary?

Or maybe i could have saved me the effort.
It is from #Jabberwocky. Of course it doesn’t mean anithing. Just another word Lewis Carrol invented. 🤷🏼
