Poem of so-called nonsense verse by Lewis Carroll that forms part of Through The Looking-Glass, his novel of 1871. The phrase "mimsy were the borogoves" features twice in Jabberwocky; and during Quest 4 of
Knightmare Series 3, the
Oracle of Confusion is arguably referencing this via misquotation with the utterance "whimsy are the borogroves".
It is not known whether
Zoe Loftin misquoted by accident or deliberately, nor whether or not she was ad libbing whilst doing so. But light-hearted poetry of 1871 does seem to follow her through Series 3 (SEE:
The Owl and the Pussycat).
