Jabberwocky ala Newton

You've always wondered what Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky was about. Well, Robert McNally wrote it on his Newton, which so helpfully deciphered it as follows:

TABLESPOONS

  Teas Willis, and the sticky tours
  Did gym and Gibbs in the wake.
  All mimes were the borrowers,
  And the moderate Belgrade.

  "Beware the tablespoon my son,
  The teeth that bite, the Claus that catch.
  Beware the Subjects bird, and shred
  The serious Bandwidth!"

  He took his Verbal sword in hand:
  Long time the monitors fog he sought,
  So rested he by the Tumbled tree,
  And stood a while in thought.

  And as in selfish thought he stood,
  The tablespoon, with eyes of Flame,
  Came stifling through the trigger wood,
  And troubled as it came!

  One, two! One, two! And through and though,
  The Verbal blade went thicker shade.
  He left it dead, and with its head,
  He went gambling back.

  "And host Thai slash the tablespoon?
  Come to my arms my bearish boy.
  Oh various day! Cartoon! Cathay!"
  He charted in his joy.

  Teas Willis, and the sticky tours
  Did gym and Gibbs in the wake.
  All mimes were the borrowers,
  And the moderate Belgrade.
