ANSWER: Literature/Poetry

The Jabberwock

"Jabberwocky" is a nonsense verse poem written by Lewis Carroll in his 1872 novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, a sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The book tells of Alice's adventures within the back-to-front world of a looking glass.

The word "vorpal" appears twice in the poem, which describes a young boy's quest to slay a monster called the Jabberwock:

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

And later,

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.
