The Hunting of the Snark

Thanks to Hnaef for keeping me on the straight and narrow here. He is more in touch with the ethos of the party formerly known as New Labour than I am. And after we caught all those Flying Spaghetti Monsters we need to be careful. So I've got to issue some new advice before we go after the Snark that was seen in the spinney yesterday. Especially if it turns out to be a boojum.

In short, you may seek it with thimbles — and seek it with care; you may hunt it with forks and hope; You may threaten its life with a railway-share;You may charm it with smiles and soap —  but if you use more than two hounds to flush it out of the undergrowth, you're in trouble Sunny Jim*.


* Or Sunny Jane. Under the new equality laws, which are apparently a Harmanisation of the existing ones, we can't be too careful.
