[00:22.00]	Come, listen, people, while I tell you again
[00:25.00]	The five unmistakable marks
[00:28.00]	By which you may know, wheresoever you go,
[00:31.00]	The warranted genuine Snarks.
[00:34.00]	Let us take them in order. The first is the taste,
[00:38.00]	Which is meagre and hollow, but crisp:
[00:41.00]	Like a coat that is a little too tight in the waist,
[00:43.00]	With a flavour of Will-o-the-wisp.
[00:44.00]
[00:46.00]	We have sailed many weeks, we have sailed many days,
[00:52.00]	(Seven days to the week I allow),
[00:58.00]	But a true Snark on whom we might lovingly gaze,
[01:04.00]	We have never beheld till now!
[01:05.00]
[01:34.00]	Its habit of getting up late you抣l agree
[01:38.00]	That it carries too far, when I say
[01:41.00]	That it frequently breakfasts at five-o抍lock tea,
[01:43.00]	And dines on the following day.
[01:49.00]	The third is its slowness in taking a jest.
[01:50.00]	Should you happen to venture on one,
[01:53.00]	It will sigh like a thing that is deeply distressed:
[01:55.00]	And it always looks grave at a pun.
[01:56.00]
[02:22.00]	We have sailed many weeks, we have sailed many days,
[02:28.00]	(Seven days to the week I allow),
[02:34.00]	But a true Snark on whom we might lovingly gaze,
[02:38.00]	We have never beheld till now!
[02:39.00]
[02:46.00]	The fourth is its fondness for bathing-machines,
[02:49.00]	Which is constantly carries about,
[02:52.00]	And believes that they add to the beauty of scenes
[02:55.00]	A sentiment open to doubt.
[03:01.00]	The fifth is ambition. It next will be right
[03:02.00]	To describe each particular batch:
[03:05.00]	Distinguishing those that have feathers, and bite,
[03:12.00]	And those that have whiskers, and scratch.
[03:18.00]	For, although common Snarks do no manner of harm,
[03:20.00]	Yet, I feel it my duty to say,
[03:23.00]	Some are Boojums--The Bellman broke off in alarm,
[03:25.00]	For the Baker had fainted away.
[03:26.00]
[03:35.00]	We have sailed many weeks, we have sailed many days,
[03:40.00]	(Seven days to the week I allow),
[03:46.00]	But a true Snark on whom we might lovingly gaze,
[03:49.00]	We have never beheld till now!
