The signing of Joe Velez makes more hilarious sense out of Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky than the words ever do when spoken...
...rolling wall, demonstrators spilled. Some of them were warming themselves in front of bonfires made with ripped-up placards and sticks. A long line of buses with their headlamps glowing strung-out along the access roads. The air was chilly but still evening-calm, and a heavy yellow moon hung over the whole scene...
