A Jabberwocky of a Fix

We have all been warned, but the sign was there Staring in her face, and nothing else was The food could be drugged But the sign said “eat me” and “drink me” and “be me” So Alice did what she was told, Being a curious girl. It was her first act of compliance Could it save her from the rabbit hole? She was now in a world of small and tall, life and strife, Tweedledee and Tweedledum It was a jazzy place, and her eyes were moving fast Trying to take in what her imagination was bringing Was she on cocaine then? Heroin? Let’s see, back in that day I am going to guess opium…. It is a jabberwocky of a fix to be facing the Queen of Hearts who is yelling “Off with her head!” meaning you. Soon Alice is in the full throes of imagination land glad she followed the white rabbit. Pink Cheshire cat, smiling, as she floats in and out of two worlds.
