ALICE IN SPACE

     Into the rabbit hole, Alice fell down
     to pass through the tunnel as if she drowned.
     She had to exit on opposite side
     through wormhole facing Angel to collide.
      
     Angel fixed two wings on back of Alice.
     Marvellous ! Charming ! Alice feeling nice.
     Both started to fly holding hand in hand.
     and reached soon on soft sand of Moon to stand.

     Angel made artificial atmosphere
      to breathe easily and also to hear.
     About ten feet Alice jumped high in mirth.
     ‘Cause Moon’s Gravity is one-sixth of Earth.

      Passing Mars, Jupiter, Asteroid Belt
      Saturn, Uranus and Neptune they felt
      tired ! At last Dwarf Planet Pluto, they met.
     Then entered Oort Cloud : Birth place of Comet.
     
     Beyond Solar system, where to explore ?
     Prompt wish of Alice : ‘ Fly to Cynosure.’
     Angel laughed, ‘ Cynosure blazing like Sun
     emitting tremendous heat just to burn.

     But in its own  planet system, I say
     “Dreamland “ is a habitat, where we stay.’
     Alice rejoiced ‘Oh ! I see,  your home land ? 
     I think, Dreamland must be gorgeous and grand.’
     
    Dreamland greeted Alice with great wonder.
     Alice met Fairies - Angels to wander.
     Plants of silver with leaves of gold to charm.
     But real, delicious fruits  to welcome.
     
      After completing enjoyable trip
      Angel reached Alice back to Earth for  sleep.
     Waking up she searched for Rabbit and caught.
     Alice gave sweet fruits from Dreamland, she brought.
