“Just the place for a Snark! the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.

That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.”

They threatened its life with a railway-share
They charmed it with smiles and soap.”

From shelf to shelf of someones rage.”
