Alice 2
"You're travelling a wrong way,"
The Guard declared, "For today
We are to take another route;
Why, I hear one more toot,
That means we have to go straight away;
Please leave the train and don't stay."
"You shouldn't listen to his words,
His thought resemble silly birds,"
Her neighbour, a gentleman in white,
Defended Alice with delight.
"You know, girl, all's relative in space.
I guess I have to say my name, in case
You don't know who I am.
Just call me Albert, and never ram
It in my head that one can know
The rightest way to go.
This train will take you anywhere,
Relax and don't care.
All ways and paths just run to any point,
To get it you've got imagination to exploit.
What's the use of changing ways
Unless you want to waste some precious days?
The only thing I'd like to say to you:
To find the truth try changing points of view."
