Life Adventures for Miles

  The hunting of the Snark is a nonsense poem from Lewis Carroll. Google said it was originally for one of his books...but ended up not making it in I guess. The poem was sent to a friend with a signed copy of one of his books. I guess most people like to put a mean g behind it all (which I suppose is reasonable as most things even nonsensical have an inspiration behind them). I think my favorite is the fact that he uses "nonsense" words by smashing words together (which I do unthinkingly). This poem contains 8 "fits" as Lewis Carroll calls them outlining 10 characters out on a hunt.
