Notes About The Poem

For 1491 Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand 

Alice in Footleland

Starring: 

Alice
   big fall
   too tall

The White Rabbit
    big date
    too late

The Caterpillar
   took toke
   then spoke

The Cheshire Cat
  grin's there
  cat's where?

The Mad Hatter
   no "buts"
   he's nuts

The March Hare
   insane
   hare-brain

The Dormouse
   I'm caught
   teapot

The Queen of Hearts
   she said
   chop head

The Mock Turtle
   appears
   fake tears

Tweedledee and Tweedledum
   dumb guys
   bow ties

The Jabberwock 
   cool talk
   J-wock

She has an enthusiastic attitude towards justice. I can say that much for her!

Love this! Some very funny lines in here David :-D "Queen said, chop head" lol brilliant. If another footle contest comes up, you'll have to enter this. Its cool. I find it so hard to use few words, but I must try what you have done. Pick a show with characters people are familiar with and create a footle for each. I will try this in the next couple of days... :-D

Thanks, Natasha! Yep, give it a try. I find it hard too to get these rhymes for some reason, whereas in my other rhyming poems, I can usually come up with them. I think I was inspired by some of Andrea's. You can use the titles to sort of tie it together.
