JabberRook (with apologies to Lewis Carroll)

When I was wandering through Brillah last night, the Jabberwocky poem kept going through my head because of the word "brillig".  For those of you what have no idea what I am talking about, you can find the original poem here. or here,

Ok, without more ado, here is my glitch version.

JabberRook

See Brillah where the grayscale pigs
Do dance and amble far and wide
Or Shimla Mirch where jellisacs
And barnacles may hide

Beware the JabberRook, small glitch
The beak that grabs, talons that scratch
Beware the JuJu thief, and ditch
That paper Banditsnatch

She took her Focus Orb in hand
Long through the Groddle Forest wandered
Then rested she by the bubble tree
And by the foil pondered 

And as in laggy thought she stood
The JabberRook, with feathers black,
Came zooming through the Nightshade Wood
And prepared to attack!

One two! Three Four! Then five through eight
The focus beam shot to the sky!
Donations flowed as the shrine glowed.
Mad Rook away did fly.

And they drove off the JabberRook
Chickens, Pigs and Butterflies healed
O brand new day! It’s time to play!
They ran off to Scribe’s Weald.

See Brillah where the grayscale pigs
Do dance and amble far and wide
Or Shimla Mirch where jellisacs
And barnacles may hide.

  ETA: You know, I think Lewis Carroll would really have liked to play Glitch.

• Best Glitch Poem EVER!
  I've had a soft spot for Jabberwocky since the first time I read it. 
  Was the first poem I ever memorised all the way through, and for someone that generally dislikes poetry of any sort, that makes it even more special to me.
