I seriously thought that the poem was in scots. Not gaelic, but the germanic tongue from Scotland. It's sometimes said to be a dialect of English, but some consider it a separate language. The song auld lang syne is in scots. The word galumphing is a real word. It means "moving in a clumsy, ponderous, or noisy manner"(Oxford English dictionary). It's the term for the way that raccoons and skunks move.

Chortle is a word. It is a combination of chuckle and choke. It's when you laugh and snort (snore) as you laugh. Humpty Dumpty is English orthography for the French "Un petit d'un petit."
A Mome Rath is a sort of Green Pig. Slithy Toves are curious creatures that are something like badgers, something like lizards, and something like corkscrews. Borogoves are Shabby looking birds!

One pill makes you larger, one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all, go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall. (Jefferson Airplane) It's been my ear worm for three weeks now. And I still like it, don't exactly know why.
