Okay, IMHO the better candidate for exportation into Greek verse would be
"The Walrus and the Carpenter." It is silly enough, but loose enough that
one could probably work successfully on a composite version (although I
wonder whether B-Greek is the appropriate place for it!). If I were going
to tackle the Jabberwocky, I think I'd prefer to start with that triumphant
stanza:
"TON IABEROUAK KATEKTONAS?
S' ASPAZOMAI, FAEINE PAI!
KALWN KALLISTH hHMERWN!"
ECAIRE KAGKAZWN.
