The Day the Dragons Won the Lottery
they got staggery, swiggery, blotto-ry,
ziggery-zaggery, teetery, tottery,
proudly swaggery,
draggery flaggery,
loudly braggery. Rich or what-ery?
When the dragonry won the lottery.
Oops! A snaggery...Oh no nottery!
Just a tenner is all they gottery.
What a calamity! Sniffery snottery.
This is most certainly not what it ought to be.
Cursery, slaggery, weepery, watery.
Utterly agony. Heckery! Rottery!
When the dragonry won the lottery.
How is the above poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll similar to The Day the Dragons Won The Lottery? Post your response.
The Jabberwocky poem and the dragon poem are similar because they bought rhyme and they both talk about dragons and other mystical creatures because in the Jabberwocky poem, they talk about tum tum trees and mome raths. Also, both poems sound like they are in gibberish because I think they make words to let the poem rhyme. For example one line says-”Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves and the mome raths outgrabe”.
ReplyDeleteThe poem the Day the Dragons Won the lottery poem, and the Jabberwocky poems are similar because, they both have fake words, that describe the dragons winning the lottery (for the dragon poem), and the Jabberwocky being slain (for the jabberwocky poem). They both sound like gibberish and are hard to understand. Also, they both have mythical creatures in them. For the poem The Day the Dragons Won the lottery, the mythical creatures are the dragons, and for the poem Jabberwocky, the main mythical creature is the jabberwocky.
ReplyDeleteThe Jabberwocky poem and The Day the Dragons Won the Lottery poem are similar because both poems were about dragons, The Day the Dragons Won the Lottery was about how dragons won the lottery and the Jabberwocky was about a boy in the woods who found this “dragon,” as though I thought from the description of it, and slayed it and brought it’s head home. The two poems also were similar because both the poems seemed like the words in them were gibberish such as “callooh” and “ziggery.” - Ryan
ReplyDeleteThe Day The Dragons Won The Lottery and Jabberwocky are similar because they both have words that aren’t in the english dictionary. Although we don’t know what some of the words mean, we can still kind of understand what the poem is about. I looked up what kind of poem Jabberwocky is and it is a “nonsense poem”, I couldn’t find what kind of poem The Day The Dragons Won The Lottery is, but I think it’s safe to assume that it is also a nonsense poem. Also, they both have mythical creatures and dragons.

The Jabberwocky poem and The Day The Dragons Won The Lottery poem are similar because they both have fake words, although even with the fake words we can still understand what the poem is saying. They are also similar because they both have a mythical creature (The Day The Dragons Won The Lottery being a dragon and the Jabberwocky poem being the Jabberwocky).
ReplyDeleteThey all talk with words that we don’t know about like: gyle and gmble, they all get a reward at the end because the bot gets the jabberwocky's head, and the dragonry gets ten dollars,
ReplyDeleteThey talk only about the dragon or what the dragon has done. They ryme and they are fast poems, They both talk about mystical creatures. They both include dragons.
They are both good :) .
The Day the Dragons Won The Lottery poem and the Jabberwocky poem are similar because they both use unfamiliar words. I've never heard and didn't know what most of the words meant in both poems. They didn't make much sense to me. The poems are also similar because they both rhyme.
ReplyDeleteThe similarity between the two poems, the day the dragons won the lottery and the jabberwocky poem is: they are both poems and it sounds like there are dragons in both of the poems. The difference is that the jabberwocky is classic, the day the dragons won the lottery is more modern than the jabberwocky poem (by ethan ['.'])
