In case you haven't seen it, this poem is reproduced from The Register

"This poem is dedicated to Stephen Conroy, the Australian minister for
Internet Censorship.
JIBBER-JABBERWOCKY
'Twas silly, as the slimy dude
Did lie to people in the news:
All flimsy were the platitudes
And the logic trail confused.
"Beware the Naked C---, my son!
The jaws that bite, the maws that catch!
Beware the big jugged bird, and shun
The curious Mandersnatch!"
He took his corporeal sword in hand:
Long time the minxsome bird he sought --
So rested he by the Cumcum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in oafish thought he stood,
The Naked C---, with heart of flame,
While grappling with the turgid wood,
Did burble as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The corporeal blade went snicker-snack!
His sword was dead, the C--- was fed,
So he made the journey back.
"And, hast thou slain the Naked C---?
Come to my arms, my righteous boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas silly, as the slimy dude
Did lie to people in the news:
All flimsy were the platitudes,
And the logic trail confused."
