I wrote an epic-length, narrative tongue-twister, inspired by Carroll works such as the Hunting of the Snark and the Alice tales. It's illustrated, even... =0) As a bonus (to my mind) it includes a parody/satire of Twitter. The epic length and the illustration format would make it hard to post here. You can view/read it at hubpages.com/hub/I-Tot-I-Taw-a-Twitter-_at_. The illustrations are, by the way, by perhaps the most famous wonderland illustrator of all... The poem/tongue-twister itself, on the other hand, is my own original work (albeit derivative, as is appropriate to the genre of "fan fiction-esque") Hope all will enjoy, and please let me know what you think of it. --wbn

Congrats, quite a production! And quite a (gentle) poke in the snoot of Stephen Fry and his tw-ilk.
I suggest you further Carrolify your verse by adopting the Snarkian Alexandrine form, in which you have seven lines of six feet each, anaepestic of course and each tenth line entirely alliterative in the so-called Boojumic Mode, ie. the letter B … each stanza also ending with a refrain of 7 coats and 3 pairs of boots.
To saddle! To pen!
