twas(it was)brillig(4 0'clock), and the slithy (lithe and slimy/active) toves (badgers/lizards/corkscrews)
did gyre (go round and round) and gimble (make holes) in the wabe (grass-pot round a sun-dial):
all mimsy (flimsy and miserable) were the borogoves (bird with feathers sticking out all round),
and the mome raths(lost green pig) outgrabe (bellowing and whistling with a sneeze in the middle).
According to the interpretation, is Alice the lost green pig bellowing and whistling with a sneeze in the middle? Or does she simply not belong in Wonderland (which is her dreamland/psyche)?

The poem lacks a definitive meaning. It's open to interpretation.
