How about a little problem to solve to begin your week?

Here is a clue. The quote is from Charles Dodgson who you may know as the name Lewis Carroll.

The quote is from The Walrus and The Carpenter. Not sure if you wanted the answer to be posted but it is definitely an interesting quote but not complete. So you can take this down if you do not want everyone to see it.

'The time has come,' the walrus said, 'to talk of many things: of shoes and ships - and sealing wax - of cabbages and kings.'

We have some very creative people out there who have figured out the puzzle for the week. Congratulations! Another one will be posted next week. In the meantime, if you would like to let me know who you are I will come up with a prize for you.
