[Long time Fun_People will remember the experiment with handwriting  
Jabberwocky on a Newton described in:
	< http://www.empire.net/~psl/Fun_People/1993/1993ALV.html >
and will note that this is mild by comparison... -psl]

'Twas brisling, and the smithy toes
  Did gyre and gamble in the wade:
All missy were the boor gives,
  And the mom rates out garb.

"Beware the Jabber wacky, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jujube bird, and shun
  The furious Banker snatch!"

He took his coral sword in hand:
  Long time the man home foe he sought---
So rested he by the Tub tummy tree,
  And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in offish thought he stood,
  The Jabber wacky, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffing through the bulgy wood,
  And burbled as it came!

One, two!  One, two!  And through and through
  The coral blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
  He went gallium ping back.

"And hats the slain the Jabber wacky?
  Come to my arms, my bearish boy!
O frab jous day!  Callooh!  Callay!"
  He chortled in his joy.

'Twos brisling, and the smithy toes
  Did gyre and gamble in the wade:
All missy were the boor gives,
  And the mom rates out garb.
