Carrying the narration over to this page in case we wanna keep up with this story line
(Narration of "Jabberwock" from "Alice In Wonderland")
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
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.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

I found an interesting website about Alice in Wonderland:
Jabberwocky - Lenny's Alice in Wonderland site
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
Translation:
"It was evening, and the smooth active badgers
were scratching and boring holes in the hill-side,
all unhappy were the parrots
and the grave turtles squeaked out."
I wonder if the people who owned that store knew what Gyre & Gimble REALLY meant...
LOL!!
"Gyre": verb (derived from 'gyaour' or 'glaour', "a dog") "to scratch like a dog."
"Gymble": (whence 'gimblet') to screw out holes in anything
or this...
"To gyre": to go round and round like a gyroscope.
"To gimble": to make holes like a gimblet.
