The first one is from a poem/song called Jabberwocky out of Lewis Carroll's
Alice in Wonderland. It uses a lot of nonsense words that Lewis Carroll made
up specially for the poem.

At a guess I'd get 0 points for that, if I was entering that is.

Jackhammer & Sledge and working beautifly, enuf so to hide the guffs
Pick & Shovel are making; guess from that I need to revisit them, but
those four (ciphers) seem to be *much* harder than the norm.
