about

I wrote "The Jub-Jub" at the same time I was writing a story for Ellen Datlow's MAD HATTERS AND MARCH HARES anthology. My story was "Lily-White and the Thief of Lesser Night," and to write it, I had to read a great deal of Lewis Carroll. This reintroduced me to the Jabberwocky. One day, Carlos and I were playing around with deconstructed Jabberwocky lyrics in the front room, and he started the "Jub-Jub" beat. And it went on from there.

lyrics

The time has come, the walrus said
To talk of many things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
And cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings

Jub jub
Jub jub
Jub jub
Jub jub

Mimsy were the borogoves
Out among the slithy toves
Brillig twas every way today
Walking ‘neath the TumTum tree
Yon Jabberwalk struts up to me
Hey you, my manxsome foe, I say

Snicker snicker snack
Snicker snicker snack snack
Snicker snicker snack
Snicker snicker snack
Snicker snicker snack snack

Galumph ye here, my Jabberwock
Come and taste my Vorpal Sword
Out in the Tulgey Wood today
Here I beam, your buoyant knave
Blade in hand, my eyes aflame
Let us all sing out Calloo, Callay!

Let us all sing out, Calloo Call—
Gyre and gimble in the wabe
Let us all sing out, Calloo, Call—
Mome my raths won’t you outgrabe?

Let us all sing out, Calloo, Call—
O hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Let us all sing out, Calloo, Call—
Caught him in thy claws that catch

Let us all sing out, Calloo, Callay
Let us all sing out, Calloo, Callay

It doesn’t really matter
One way or the other, no it doesn't really matter . . .
