MY ALICE OF WONDERLAND

Before my Alice could wander

In the wonderland

Her White Rabbit was all red

With a clock

Still ticking to say

“Oh dear! Oh dear. . . Too early”

I am not her Carroll, but

She often asks me

“Where is my wonderland?”

“It is here.

One day you will find

the rabbit to it, darling”

I propose.

Yesterday she came

With a newspaper in her hand

Proclaiming

“I found the wonderland”

“I found it.”

“Where?”

“Here Papa.

This place has

Fallen like Humpty Dumpty

And I can hear everyday

Mad Hatter giving speeches,

While people sleep like Dormouse.

The caterpillar is engulfed

In the smoke

of its own Hookah.

Every now and then

When someone raises the pen

I can hear the call

“Off with his head!”

And

Beware the Jabberwock,
The jaws that bite,

the claws that catch!

And

Every time they catch

Every time they bite

I can hear

I can see

Cheshire Cat’s

Grin

 Flashing

Sometimes from the left

Sometimes from the right

Often in the center.”

This is wonderland

My Rabbit

I just realized it late.
