(a) you have wasted time

(b) you are not Alice

(d) You are from Australia (e) ... (d) & taught to hate rabbits and going to import slave labour from India to work in coal fields in Queensland.

Have you wondered why labour is spelled with a U in England and its former colonies? In the US of A, It was dropped because: who gives a you know what about U. It is me that rhymes with everything. Do you click "I Agree " buttons without reading fine print? If yes you are in dialog with your wife and a happily married man.

The Preface, to The Hunting of the Snark is a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxies of sense in contemporary India (2012) correlating to Lewis Carroll's Victorian non sense. The situations, cast and role analogies could be mind boggling

Bellman - The bureaucrat , The politician/bureaucrat , the member of parliament, the government, the judiciary, the religious head, anybody.

The helmsman *** - The king/queen?, the president?, prime minister?, chief justice?

The helmsman*** This office was usually undertaken by the Boots, who found in it a refuge from the Baker's constant complaints about the insufficient blacking of his three pairs of boots.

This reminds of the sick stories the media dishes out ("dishes out", get it...) This should be technically "dishes in". And rhymes with Con, or Cor, or Corn. When you sult you become a consultant and uption is hyped on you (get the beat... heaped hyped) it becomes big big business. And it is NGO not taxed charity for saving souls so that U can go to heaven.

And we now have an NGO with star collaborators, Coca Cola sellers of gas and sleazy stuff and a film star the did his real life, wild life safari stuff of literally shooting supposed to be protected innocent wild life.

On the whole, TV media anchors in news shows appear to be in the race for the world champion's prize for pronouncing "obfuscation" with a straight face and without drool. Globalization and foreign direct investments rushes in where fools fear to tread.

Rule 42 of the code ensures movement of ...... (fill in blanks) ships from a point to another in civilization.

PREFACE TO
THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK
If—and the thing is wildly possible—the charge o£
writing nonsense were ever brought against the author of
this brief but instructive poem, it would be based, I feel
convinced, on the line (in p. 761)
"Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes:"

In view of this painful possibility, I will not (as I might)
appeal indignantly to my other writings as a proof that I
am incapable of such a deed: I will not (as I might) point
to the strong moral purpose of this poem itself, to the
arithmetical principles so cautiously inculcated in it, or to
its noble teachings in Natural History—I will take the
more prosaic course of simply explaining how it happened.
The Bellman, who was almost morbidly sensitive about
appearances, used to have the bowsprit unshipped once or
twice a week to be revarnished; and it more than once
happened, when the time came for replacing it, that no
one on board could remember which end of the ship

it-belonged to. They knew it was not of the slightest use to
appeal to the Bellman about it—he would only refer to
his Naval Code, and read out in pathetic tones Admiralty
Instructions which none of them had ever been able to
understand—so it generally ended in its being fastened

on, anyhow, across the rudder. The helmsman ***
used to stand by with tears in his eyes : he knew it was all wrong, but alas! Rule 42 of the Code, ''No one shall speak to the Man at the Helm,'' had been completed by the Bellman
himself with the words ''and the Man at the Helm shall
speak to no one So remonstrance was impossible, and no
steering could be done till the next varnishing day. During

these bewildering intervals the ship usually sailed
backwards.

As this poem is to some extent connected with the lay of the Jabberwock, let me take this opportunity of answering a question that has often been asked me, how to pronounce "slithy toves." The "i" in "slithy" is long, as in

"writhe"; and "toves" is pronounced so as to rhyme with "groves." Again, the first "o" in "borogoves" is pro-nounced like the "o" in "borrow." I have heard people try to give it the sound of the "o" in "worry." Such is Human Perversity.

This also seems a fitting occasion to notice the other hard words in that poem. Humpty-Dumpty's theory, of two meanings packed into one word like a portmanteau, seems to me the right explanation for all.

For instance, take the two words "fuming" and "furi-ous." Make up your mind that you will say both words, but leave it unsettled which you will say first. Now open your mouth and speak. If your thoughts incline ever so little towards "fuming," you will say "fuming-furious"; if they turn, by even a hair's breadth, towards "furious," you will say "furious-fuming"; but if you have that rarest
of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind, you will say "frum-lOUS.

The helmsman*** This office was usually undertaken by the Boots, who found in it a refuge from the Baker's constant complaints about the insufficient blacking of his three pairs of boots.

THIS REMINDS ME OF RED TAPE becoming redder or tape becoming tapier. On the whole, it is a sticky wicket.
