Tweedle's Dum and Dee

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are two friends of mine. They hung out with dear Alice. They knew her in her prime. They smoked some dope, least that's the hope, in caterpillar time, oh, tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, they are two friends of mine. Mr. Dum loved the Cheshire cat Mr. Dee the Jabberwocky, both of them shunned the Hatter, he made the bitterest tea. Why Dad named them both the same thing only the rabbit knew. What he'd done was a shame seeing that they were TWO! Just two boys, round formed, beak capped, and bow legged but, oh the trouble that they caused, they never were up staged! My deadly duo, famous two-o, who would there be but thee, just ask Alice, she'll agree twin boys of dread debauchee.

Really cute and clever. We both went for a bit of humor instead of the big love story. I enjoyed it. Congratulations. Love, Joyce

Wicked! Loved every line- one exception, I'd have had the hatter make 'such bitter tea.' I did really dig this, Sis. Ummm... I wrote that haibun. The one you ... inspired with your spring contest and the one I had to LET myself to write. Once you read, you may understand. I will probably remove this after you read it. I decided to post it here... for a bit. xox Dee
