"Plop-plop-fizz-fizz, oh what a relief it is." --Alka Seltzer ad
"And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back."
--Lewis Carrol (from "The Jabberwocky," Through the Looking Glass...; also found in Disney's Alice in Wonderland, sung by The Cheshire Cat)
