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."
