I loved the Lewis Carrol Jabberwocky mention, I used to be able to recite it off by heart.
You may be interested in this poem- from the start of Alice in Wonderland.
All in the golden afternoon
Full leisurely we glide;
For both our oars, with little skill,
By little arms are plied,
While little hands make vain pretense
Our wanderings to guide.
Ah, cruel Three! In such an hour,
Beneath such dreamy weather,
To beg a tale of breath too weak
To stir the tiniest feather!
Yet what can one poor voice avail
Against three tongues together?
Imperious Prima flashes forth
Her edict to "begin it"--
In gentler tones Secunda hopes
"There will be nonsense in it"--
While Tertia interrupts the tale
Not more than once a minute.
Anon, to sudden silence won,
In fancy they pursue
The dream-child moving through a land
Of wonders wild and new,
In friendly chat with bird or beast--
And half believe it true.
And ever, as the story drained
The wells of fancy dry,
And faintly strove that weary one
To put the subject by,
"The rest next time"--"It is next time!"
The happy voices cry.
Thus grew the tale of Wonderland:
Thus slowly, one by one,
Its quaint events were hammered out--
And now the tale is done,
And home we steer, a merry crew,
Beneath the setting sun.
Alice! a childish story take,
And with a gentle hand
Lay it where Childhood's dreams are twined
In Memory's mystic band,
Like pilgrim's withered wreath of flowers
Plucked in a far-off land.

aaw, he's trying so hard! but poor Harry and Ron... their little minds must be reeling
Author's Response: I'm glad you can see it from their point of view. Reeling is right! Everything is topsy-turvy! *hums song from the Hunchback of Notre Dame*

I do wonder "who" Mrs. Norris is... if she's an animagus.. Oh I do like it how Draco is trying to be good.
Author's Response: He gets major brownie points for trying, doesn't he? Kisses from Ginny have to ease the pain of being 'good' :D.
