A World of My Own

Could it be?
Can it be so?
A place for me?
Does anyone know?
Where can I see?
Which way do I go?

I could land upside down
After falling through a rabbit's hole
Zero smiles turn to frowns
Everyone in their own control
Odd makes the most wonderful sounds
Causing greater difference to be their goal.

Are there things of all shapes and sizes?
Like people, animals, food that makes you taller?
Talking flowers and caterpillars in disguises?
Mushrooms, bread, cookies that make you smaller?
Mad hatters with foolish surprises?
Angry queens who never falter?

I would explore for all days to come
I'd make friends near and far
Weird songs with unusual hum
Day is night and the sun shines as one big star
Always happy, never glum
All surroundings quaintly bizarre.
