Based on Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky".
In the last three stanzas the poem's "beamish boy" is carrying his "vorpal" sword in one hand and in the other the head of the Jabberwock, which he shows to his mother.
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.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
-- Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky (from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There)
