Of Identifying A Snark

"Come, listen, my men, while I tell you again/ The five unmistakable marks/ By which you may know, wheresoever you go/ The warranted genuine Snarks.

"Let us take them in order. The first is the taste/ Which is meager and hollow, but crisp/ Like a coat that is rather too tight in the waist/ With a flavor of Will-o-the-wisp.

"Its habit of getting up late you'll agree/ That it carries too far, when I say/ That it frequently breakfasts at five-o'clock tea/ And dines on the following day.

"The third is its slowness in taking a jest/ Should you happen to venture on one/ It will sigh like a thing that is deeply distressed/ And it always looks grave at a pun.

"The fourth is its fondness for bathing-machines/ Which is constantly carries about/ And believes that they add to the beauty of scenes/ A sentiment open to doubt.

"The fifth is ambition. It next will be right/ To describe each particular batch/ Distinguishing those that have feathers, and bite/ And those that have whiskers, and scratch

On the Hunting of the Snark

" 'You may seek it with thimbles--and seek it with care;
