Alice Meets Ulysses

ALICE  MEETS  ULYSSES


On a string up in the sky  her activity was  flying a  cat. 
She just wouldn’t say, the  lips were sealed,
Up there with ceiling wax.  She said
I don’t  reveal secrets,   don’t  let the cat out of the dog.
Just relax,  be  lax  re  tax,
Have a cucumber  sandwich, perhaps  a  hamcumber  samburger.  
Later we might visit  Sackpool  Bland  and the  Bower  Tallroom *
Or go swimming with gills and  feet,  like a fizard.  
But at the moment I am clean upping  with  the mowlawner
She said, so we sat,  the two of us too,  to watch 
As the planet  tworld  around that day,  
Wondering if the croquet game was better with the 
Queen of Harts  and all the dear  deer  - 
Oh  dear dear , oh deer deer : 
Only two things outa Texas  -  steers and queers
But my car steers badly, so I guess she’ll
Reign in Spain  mainly on the plane.

     *A well-known unexciting resort in England is Blackpool with its sands,                                                                              and its famous but perhaps worn-out  Tower Ballroom
