So Alice, take me by the hand
So Alice, lost in Wonderland
Where Mad Hatter makes you tea
And the door can't find the key

Snatch that bottle from the table
With 'Drink Me' there on the label.
You'll shrink down to a small size
Catch the Rabbit - that's your real prize.

So Alice, where've you been today?
So Alice, where'd you run to play?
Was it down that Rabbit hole
Escaping boredom was your goal?

Follow the Rabbit for a while
Cheshire directs you with a smile
To the throne of the Queen of Hearts
Caught the Rabbit - now the trial starts.

So Alice, where's your Wonderland?
So Alice, do you understand
That there's no real Wonderland
Is your life really all that bland?

You're off of your head!
Off with your head!

One of the many, many poems (the majority of which are unfinished) that I have saved on my laptop that I've not been happy enough with to upload.

But I keep doing that with everything I write and I've not been uploading anything for too long, so I suppose I'll just upload some from now on but acknowledge their issues.

I'm aware the structure of this gets really finicky towards the end. In an ideal world, I'll only have kept the first two verses and changed the rest but my brain's pooped and this has been sitting around for months.

Tell me what you think anyway.
