Jabber­wocky in Common Words

First there was xkcd’s Up Goer Five picture joke using only the ten Hundred words people say the most. Then came the Thing Explainer book. Eventually there was a computer word checker. My own take on using the computer word checker is farther down:

Job-or-way-key

By the man who wrote: Wonder-land and Through the Looking Glass

Was bell-leg, and the slightly droves
Did guy and game-ball in the wake:
All mom-see were the bar-oh-goes,
And the mom-wraps out-greyed.

Watch out for Job-or-walk, my boy!
The mouth that bites, fingers that catch!
Look out for Job-Job flies. Avoid
The through-me-us Band-or-snap!

He took his pointed stick in hand;
Long time the man-some jerk he chased
So rested he by the Time-time tree
And stood a while in place.

And, as in office place he stood,
The Job-or-walk, with burning eyes,
Came wife-long through the told-she wood,
And bar-build out its cries!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The pointed stick went sick-attack
He left it dead, and with its head
He went glad-something back.

And have you killed the Job-or-walk?
Come to my arms, my be-miss son!
Oh from-just day! Call-who! Call-lay!
He laughed that it was done.

Was bell-leg, and the slightly droves
Did guy and game-ball in the wake:
All mom-see were the bar-oh-goes,
And the mom-wraps out-greyed.
