Down the rabbit hole.
Wake me when it's over.

A white rabbit keeps babbling
somethig about time.
A cat with a silly grin disappears
leaving only a smile behind.
A secret, worldly smile
that can be quite annoying
after a while.
And I am about to have tea
with a Mad Hatter
who is saner than me.
Somewhere there's a voice
shouting "Off with her head!"
But The Queen of Hearts
doesn't frighten me.
I happen to know her personally.

Thanks for the comments, Guys. Alice In Wonderland was one of my favorite childhood stories. It has so many hidden meanings...just like real life.

I'm a huge Lewis Carroll fan so I enjoyed this.

The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. 'Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?' he asked.
'Begin at the beginning,' the King said gravely, 'and go on till you come to the end: then stop.'

But what of Dweedle-Dee and Dweedle-Dum
Who together weren’t worth a middle thumb
Or the hookah smokin’ pooka ‘pillar chum
Whose questions caused identity numb

Though some would rather play heart attack croquet
Flamingos and hedgehogs might get in the way
Thus I’d just assume let the rabbit run away
And forego what ever the red queen might say

"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."
