Kevin Shaw Poet Rhyme

Alice In Unreality Land

Alice in Unreality Land

Tweedle Dee was acting frivolously dumb,
Whilst Mock Turtle’s face sullen and glum.
Not unusually White Rabbit was late,
Alice grew large compressed in a gate.
Absent minded Dodo, helpful so polite,
Gryphon has wings but cannot take flight.
A Cat from Cheshire grinning ear to ear,
The Queen has a King, so kindly my dear.
Remover of Monsters our Lizard man Bill,
Caterpillar smokes Hookah with obstinate will.
March Hare so ridiculous, loudly insane,
Dozy Dormouse in Teapot doesn’t complain.
Unbirthday parties of a Hatter so mad,
Duchess is curious, neither good nor bad.
Lewis Carroll wrote a surreal world of confusion,
A curiosity tale filled of unreality and illusion.

Carolyn Devonshire October 8, 2018 at 7:30 PM Surely, you captured the spirit in which Lewis Carroll created Alice in Wonderland, Kevin! While it's been a long time since I read it, I enjoyed your references to the "Dozy Dormouse in Teapot" and the Mad Hatter's "unbirthday parties." Quite a witty fantasy! Hugs, Carolyn Kevin Shaw October 9, 2018 at 3:44 PM Thank you for your kind comments Carolyn, I adore the characters of Lewis Carroll, regards, Kevin xx
