Alice

A young girl

In mind and soul

She fell down the rabbit hole

"Oh, poor Alice,"

Cheshire Cat

"For in here we're all mad."

The white rabbit,

Always late,

The Madhatter and his friends

Host a feast and mad remain.

The caterpillar, so wise

Although he in rhymes replies,

Always smoking on his pipe,

But his wisdom's kind of ripe.

"Oh, poor Alice,"

Cheshire Cat

"For in here we're all mad."

"I'm not mad!"

"You must be, Dear,

Or you wouldn't have come here."

The Red Queen

"Off with their heads!"

To her army of cards as they

Blood-red white roses paint.

"Oh, poor Alice,"

Cheshire Cat

"For in here we're all mad."

She said:

"Would you, please, tell me

Which way do I go from here?"

"That depends on a good deal

Where you want to get to, Dear."

"I don't really care," said Alice.

"Then it really doesn't matter."

Eat a mushroom

And grow tall,

Drink a potion to get small,

Cry until your salty tears

Form a sea you have to steer.

"Oh, poor Alice,"

Cheshire Cat

"For in here we're all mad."
