->''They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care;\\
They pursued it with forks and hope;\\
They threatened its life with a railway-share;\\
They charmed it with smiles and soap.''
"The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in 8 Fits)" is a NarrativePoem by Creator/LewisCarroll, telling the story of a group of [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] adventurers as they search for the elusive Snark, a vaguely-described creature which lives on a remote island.
The poem may be considered a SpiritualSuccessor to "Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}" from ''Literature/ThroughTheLookingGlass'', and contains several of the same creatures that are mentioned in "Jabberwocky".
Worth noting is how the poem was constructed - the last line was the first line that Carroll thought of. The rest of the poem was made to build up to it.

!! This poem provides examples of:
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Most of the characters.
* ForDoomTheBellTolls: As well as several mentions in the text, it's notable that the Bellman's bell is in every single illustration.
* HeyYou: Played with, due to the Baker having forgotten his own name:
--> He would answer to "Hi!" or to any loud cry,
--> Such as "Fry me!" or "Fritter my wig!"
--> To "What-you-may-call-um!" or "What-was-his-name!"
---> But especially "Thing-um-a-jig!"
** This also leads to an IHaveManyNames:
---> His intimate friends called him "Candle-ends,"
----> And his enemies "Toasted-cheese."
* IncrediblyLamePun: From the Bellman
-->The Bellman perceived that their spirits were low,
--->And repeated in musical tone
-->Some jokes he had kept for a season of woe—
--->But the crew would do nothing but groan.
** Also, snarks look grave at them.
* TheMusical: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunting_of_the_Snark_%28musical%29 One was made]] of it in TheEighties.
* RuleOfThree:
-->"Just the place for a Snark!" the Bellman cried,
--->As he landed his crew with care;
-->Supporting each man on the top of the tide
--->By a finger entwined in his hair.
-->"Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
--->That alone should encourage the crew.
-->Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
--->What I tell you three times is true."
