The Hunting of the Snark

"The last of the crew needs especial remark,

Though he looked an incredible dunce:

He had just one idea-but, that one being `Snark',

The good Bellman engaged him at once."

`The Hunting of the Snark' (1876) is a nonsense poem by `Alice Adventures in Wonderland' author Lewis Carroll. It describes the disastrous hunting mission by a bizarre group of characters, among these a butcher who can only kill beavers and a guy who forgot his own name. Gloriously nonsensical, this poem is bound to appeal to all fans of Alice.
