Mad As a Hatter ~down With the Bloody Red Queen~

insipired by Alice In Wonderland Tell me how did I get myself stuck in this dream A dream I dream every night it seems And every night is as strange as before. Have I possibly gone mad? This must be a dream It is impossible for animals to talk For cats to smile And mice to walk. I must have gone bonkers! Oh dear, this is so confusing Oh how could this be? Everything is after me Everyone is chasing me Oh but wait this is all just a dream. Everyone here is has simply gone daffy! Oh look who’s this This place of wonder has a queen Oh dear, oh my She is very mean She’s feared rather than loved Face burning blood red As she’s screaming “Off with his head”. Now she is most defiantly mad. Oh no, not good The queen is after me But why Why now could this be What did I do What can I do To stop her from beheading me? Oh yes that’s it I’ll twist the tables ‘round And now There’s no place for her to run Oh it seems I have won Her time as queen is done Even her own army is gone. But oh, I can’t Not even this life I can end But alone the rest of her life shell spend Banished without a friend. That would drive any person mad. I have learned through this peculiar journey To believe the impossible Open up your mind Open your heart as well And soon you’ll find Animals talking Roses painted red Careful now Try not to loose your head So dream your dreams Wish upon a star I may be mad as a hatter But hey The best people are.

LOL Yes, the "best people are" often seen as mad hatters. What would this world be like without the ability to see things from unique perspectives? Alice in Wonderland was one of my favorites as a child. I donned my "hatter" cap early in life. Love, Carolyn
