Alice's Adventures

Little Alice fell down a hole
And took such a time to reach the floor.

She finally landed in a room with many doors from which to choose
Alice drank from a bottle and shrank then ate cake and up she grows and grows.

Eventually our heroine makes it out and further in, to wonderland
She meets a mouse, offends the birds and is left all alone to stand.

The Duchess is her next acquaintance and my how she sneezes
Her baby grunts and it’s suddenly a pig which pleases.

Since Alice no longer has to hold and coddle it
She chats with the grinning feline for a bit.

“We’re all mad here” says the Cheshire cat
So Alice goes to tea with the mad man that dons a hat.

Once she escapes from that insane tea time
She finds the garden which appeared so sublime.

Upon arriving, she finds the madness remains
She learns from the past and her mind strains

To recall all the wonder is a dream
And the characters the pack of cards they seem.
