i believe the theme is that things ar enot always as they seem and that wisdom comes with age; the older dysters did not leave the oyster bed only the youngsters
The theme of "The Walrus and the Carpenter" is often interpreted as a cautionary tale about the deceptive nature of authority figures and the consequences of blindly following them. The poem raises questions about power dynamics, manipulation, and moral ambiguity, leaving readers to ponder the complexities of human behavior and relationships.
Carroll had a penchant for parodying popular children's poems, but unlike other poems in the Alice books, The Walrus and the Carpenter does not parody any poem in particular.
In a letter he wrote in 1872, Carroll said, "I had no particular poem in mind. The metre is a common one, and I don't think 'Eugene Aram' suggested it more than the many other poems I have read in the same metre." (Eugene Aram is a poem by Thomas Hood)

Like The Dream of Eugene Aram, The Walrus and the Carpenter is written in Ballad form, but whether it parodies or mocks this form or is simply utilising it is debatable.
yes
yes
This is a personal opinion: Every verse including nonsense verse says something about the writer, and in that sense can be serious to some extent. Sometimes the verse itself may have a 'moral' or central theme that serves to instruct. Carroll's material in Through the Looking Glass are good examples. There are lessons in "The Walrus and the Carpenter", and even in "The Jabberwocky". But there is no requirement that the author must set out to be serious when writing nonsense verse.

Lewis - Main Theme by Barrington Pheloung and the London Metropolitan Orchestra
It is the Halloween theme from John Carpenter. :)
Lewis Carroll is best known for his novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, which were children's fantasy fiction. He also wrote two less successful children's books on a similar theme. He is also famous for his poetry, which generally is also on a fantasy theme, and incorporates nonsense language. Apart form that, he wrote books on mathematics and logic under his real name, Charles Dodgson. Carroll was also a fanatical diarist and letter writer, and there are volumes of diaries and numerous letters which he wrote to people. many nonsense poems, things that don't make sense at all! lots of portmanteau world
