Apologies To Alice At Christmas
My toves are not slithy this evening,
They will not gyre or gymbal at all.
And worldwide the wabes are all dusty.
While North Korea threatens,
Nuclear War!!
CNN now tells us of terror,
That threatens the whole world with hate,
And those who love peace seem neglected.
Poor foolish patrons of war!
Now the Jabberwock seems hardly scary,
He's a threat even babies don't fear.
Better by far to tremble at the Jabberwocks cry,
Than to raise a glass to war.
Now whereever soldiers are fighting,
And whatever they fight for tonight,
Give them peace for one night from the child of light.
And a new year without any war,
A gift from everyone to the entire world.
