Froward on he went in a jolt

Gory dew stenching alegar

Pusillanimous to a fault

And cogent to the abulia

The Wyvern with its clapperclaw

Spotted young wallydrag

A weazens temper so raw

But no such much a scallywag

Its lulliloo swinked its gig

But for the foofaraw of the Gribble

Lubricious as a fizjig

A tumid fulgeration of dribble

It throws a dornick missing the looby

Connected the Wyvern wapperjaw

Send it sideways scooby

And denyest its clapperclaw

Twas pawky to showeth

A volacious wamble midsky

Now the Gribble to run lest

Be pule in synchronicity

So skepsi be the micawber

As thy wallydrag frittles

Be ending nugatory jitney

As the Gribble fells like skittles

Definition of Cacophony

Cacophony is a technique which was used by the famous poet and author Lewis Carroll. Lewis Carroll makes use of cacophony in the poem 'Jabberwocky' by using an unpleasant spoken sound created by clashing consonants. The word cacophony originates from the Greek word meaning "bad sound". The term in poetry refers to the use of words that combine sharp, harsh, hissing, or unmelodious sounds.
