Since so many police are leaving due to the forced Jabberwocky, I propose we repurpose that glut of idle 'teachers' to don the blue and hit the streets. They can coach violent criminals the ins & outs of proper pronoun usage.

Is that Jabberwocky or jabberwacky?

It all seems rather wacky to me

Jab = Jabberwocky = nonsense words = Covid narrative

This is just something I'm having fun with I guess... if you haven't read this in a while, here you go:

Jabberwocky

BY LEWIS CARROLL

тАЩTwas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

тАЬBeware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch!тАЭ

He took his vorpal sword in hand;

Long time the manxome foe he soughtтАФ

So rested he by the Tumtum tree

And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey 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 went galumphing back.

тАЬAnd hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!тАЭ

He chortled in his joy.

тАЩTwas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

Great idea. And because they're enlightened, they won't need weapons.

That's what they've been teaching our kids - right?

Good idea. And people like me that are good teachers but didn't want to get into the soul crush of the Teaching Industrial Complex can take over now...
