How I Shunned the Frumious Bandersnatch and Lived to Tell the Tale. sn2022

Yes, I took my fathers advice, I shunned the frumious Bandersnatch and look what it got me huh? It follows me around, dogging my heals begging for recognition, it's seven paws pattering the the ground in an odd beat that disrupts the composition of natures rhythm which leads me to my next point.

What the hell is a word like rhythm anyway. I mean words like slithy,, outgrabe, Jubjub, vorpal , manxome,
tulgey, and galumphing I can get my head around.

But rhythm? It's one crappy part time vowel stuck in the middle of two H's.

Just makes no sense.

Bandersnatch !!!

That sounds really dangerous like a combination of a band saw or something with big teeth!

Yeah, I had to drop the mention of those teeth due to the one hundred word limitation. But yeah, that's how it got it's name, it's told me at least a dozen times over the years in our travels though Wonderland.

Excellent, Terry, cleverly written!

You got me looking up words...

Save you some time. Go straight to ''Jabberwocky'' by Lewis Carrol.

Thanks for your story.

Good Luck in the Contest!
