Growing with Grubbycup

Grubbycuo reading Jabberwocky

by Lewis Carroll

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought —
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

“And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!’
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Grubbycup’s Theme (Kelley Erickson)

Growing with Grubbycup

He’s got some seeds to throw
He’ll keep you in the know
Variety to fame
So baby what’s his name?
He’s the man who knows
He’ll make your garden grow
Grubbycup’s his name
He’s a man, who’ll make a change.

Great big hugs to Mark Beauchmin and the amazing, talented, and very gentle Kelley Erickson, the talented artists behind Grubbycup’s Theme. If you are ever in the Rhode Island area, find out if she is playing anywhere and catch a performance (and while you are in the state, check out Hawk’s shop Grow With Us Hydroponics).

I admit it may be a bit more boastful than I would have written, but thankfully I had the good sense to stay out of things and let the gifted people do their thing. I met Hawk and Kelley at one of the Maximum Yield trade shows, and they are really nice people. We got to talking and one thing led to another, and this is the end result.

Gentle readers, I hope you like it, I know I do.
