Just the place for a Snark the Bellman cried	A
As he landed his crew with care	B
Supporting each man on the top of the tide	A
By a finger entwined in his hair	B
Just the place for a Snark I have said it twice	C
That alone should encourage the crew	D
Just the place for a Snark I have said it thrice	C
What I tell you three times is true	D
	-
The crew was complete it included a Boots	E
A maker of Bonnets and Hoods	F
A Barrister brought to arrange their disputes	E
And a Broker to value their goods	F
	-
A Billiard marker whose skill was immense	G
Might perhaps have won more than his share	B
But a Banker engaged at enormous expense	G
Had the whole of their cash in his care	B
	-
There was also a Beaver that paced on the deck	H
Or would sit making lace in the bow	I
And had often the Bellman said saved them from wreck	H
Though none of the sailors knew how	I
	-
There was one who was famed for the number of things	J
He forgot when he entered the ship	K
His umbrella his watch all his jewels and rings	J
And the clothes he had bought for the trip	K
	-
He had forty two boxes all carefully packed	L
With his name painted clearly on each	M
But since he omitted to mention the fact	L
They were all left behind on the beach	M
	-
The loss of his clothes hardly mattered because	N
He had seven coats on when he came	O
With three pair of boots but the worst of is was	P
He had wholly forgotten his name	O
	-
He would answer to Hi or to any loud cry	Q
Such as Fry me or Fritter my wig	R
To What you may call um or What was his name	O
But especially Thing um a jig	R
	-
While for those who preferred a more forcible word	S
He had different names from these	T
His intimate friends called him Candle ends	U
And his enemies Toasted cheese	T
	-
His form is ungainly his intellect small	V
So the Bellman would often remark	W
But his courage is perfect And that after all	V
Is the thing that one needs with a Snark	W
	-
He would joke with hyaenas returning their stare	B
With an impudent wag of the head	X
And he once went a walk paw in paw with a bear	B
Just to keep up its spirits he said	X
	-
He came as a Baker but owned when too late	Y
And it drove the poor Bellman half mad	Z
He could only bake Bridecake for which I may state	Y
No materials were to be had	Z
	-
The last of the crew needs especial remark	W
Though he looked an incredible dunce	T
He had just one idea but that one being Snark	W
The good Bellman engaged him at once	T
	-
He came as a Butcher but gravely declared	A2
When the ship had been sailing a week	W
He could only kill Beavers The Bellman looked scared	A2
And was almost too frightened to speak	W
	-
But at length he explained in a tremulous tone	B2
There was only one Beaver on board	C2
And that was a tame one he had of his own	B2
Whose death would be deeply deplored	C2
	-
The Beaver who happened to hear the remark	W
Protested with tears in its eyes	T
That not even the rapture of hunting the Snark	W
Could atone for that dismal surprise	T
	-
It strongly advised that the Butcher should be	D2
Conveyed in a separate ship	K
But the Bellman declared that would never agree	D2
With the plans he had made for the trip	K
	-
Navigation was always a difficult art	E2
Though with only one ship and one bell	F2
And he feared he must really decline for his part	E2
Undertaking another as well	F2
	-
The Beaver's best course was no doubt to procure	G2
A second hand dagger proof coat	H2
So the baker advised it and next to insure	G2
Its life in some Office of note	H2
	-
This the Baker suggested and offered for hire	I2
On moderate terms or for sale	J2
Two excellent Policies one Against Fire	I2
And one Against Damage From Hail	J2
	-
Yet still ever after that sorrowful day	K2
Whenever the Butcher was by	Q
The Beaver kept looking the opposite way	K2
And appeared unaccountably shy	Q
