What a to-do to die today at a minute or two to two,
A thing distinctly hard to say but harder still to do.
For they'll beat a tattoo at a quarter to two:
A rat-ta tat-tat ta tat-tat ta to-to.
And the dragon will come when he hears the drum
At a minute or two to two today, at a minute or two to two.
I have to recite this poem for an audition and I wanted to know if there was anymore to the poem that could add to its meaning. I know it is by Lewis Carroll. and please don't say to 'google' it. i tried and all that came up was that it was a warm-up exercise.
If anyone knows the full, original poem can you post it or include a link to it. Thank you!!!
