  • Tweedledum and Tweedledee
rdfs:comment
  • In the original nursery rhyme, Tweedledum and Tweedledee agreed to have a battle because Tweedledum accused Tweedledee of spoiling his nice new rattle. However, after a monstrous crow frightened them both, they forgot their quarrel. In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice Found There (1871), the two fat little men are portrayed as twins who enact and quote their nursery rhyme for Alice. They also tell her the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter.
  • Tweedledum and Tweedledee are fictional characters in an English language nursery rhyme and in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Their names may have originally come from an epigram written by poet John Byrom. The nursery rhyme has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19800.

  • Tweedledum and Tweedledee work for the Mad Hatter, running his asylum in Looking Glass Land, and they are not too kind towards patients. The larger Tweedle is Tweedledee, and the smaller Tweedle is Tweedledum.
  • Tweedledum and Tweedledee were characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. They were brothers discovered by Alice as she traveled through Wonderland. In 2268, under the control of the Platonians' psychokinetic abilities, James T. Kirk and Spock sang a nonsense verse that referenced language and characters from the book: I'm Tweedledee, he's Tweedledum. We're spacemen marching to and from. We slythe among the mimsy troves, And tire among the borogove. (TOS: "Plato's Stepchildren" )

abstract
  • Tweedledum and Tweedledee were characters from Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. They were brothers discovered by Alice as she traveled through Wonderland. In 2268, under the control of the Platonians' psychokinetic abilities, James T. Kirk and Spock sang a nonsense verse that referenced language and characters from the book: I'm Tweedledee, he's Tweedledum. We're spacemen marching to and from. We slythe among the mimsy troves, And tire among the borogove. (TOS: "Plato's Stepchildren" ) A nonsense verse referencing this pair of characters was to have been recited by Spock, while similarly under psychokinetic control (albeit by Charlie Evans instead of the Platonians), in TOS: "Charlie X" . NBC even cleared the copyright of the verse, to allow for its usage in the episode. As written in the final draft script of "Charlie X", the verse would have been: Tweedledum and Tweedledee Agreed to have a battle: For Tweedledum said Tweedledee Had spoiled his nice new rattle.
  • In the original nursery rhyme, Tweedledum and Tweedledee agreed to have a battle because Tweedledum accused Tweedledee of spoiling his nice new rattle. However, after a monstrous crow frightened them both, they forgot their quarrel. In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice Found There (1871), the two fat little men are portrayed as twins who enact and quote their nursery rhyme for Alice. They also tell her the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter.
