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.
