Tulgey Wood

Down the rabbit hole she fell
Her body shrinks, her body swells
“It might be, if it were so
For we are all mad here you know”.

“Mary Ann,” White Rabbit calls
The oysters dead – they killed them all
Tweedledum is logic's law
Oh Red King do not hold your snore.

The child is lost in Wonderland
Alice does not understand
Flamingoes are lords of croquet
And never will come jam today.

‘Drink Me', ‘Eat me', ‘Who am I?'
Like a teatray in the sky
Heed advice from Cheshire Cat
But do not paint the roses black.

Twas brillig and the slithey toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe
“Beware the jabberwocky my son
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch
Beware the jub jub bird and shun
The frumious bandersnatch”.

The pudding cuts a slice of you
A pig snout on the baby grew
Ravens fill the writing desk
The serpent child is grotesque.

“Take less tea,” the Hatter said
Whilst Red Queen calls, “Off with his head”
“I'm late, I'm late,” he murdered time
Your punishment precedes your crime.

Twas brillig and the slithey toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe
“And hast thou slain the jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day, calooh calay!”
He chortled in his joy.
