Mad As a Hatter ~down With the Bloody Red Queen~

insipired by Alice In Wonderland

Tell me how did I get myself stuck in this dream 
A dream I dream every night it seems 
And every night is as strange as before. 

Have I possibly gone mad? 

This must be a dream 
It is impossible for animals to talk 
For cats to smile 
And mice to walk. 

I must have gone bonkers! 

Oh dear, this is so confusing 
Oh how could this be? 
Everything is after me 
Everyone is chasing me 
Oh but wait this is all just a dream. 

Everyone here is has simply gone daffy! 

Oh look who’s this 
This place of wonder has a queen 
Oh dear, oh my 
She is very mean 
She’s feared rather than loved 
Face burning blood red 
As she’s screaming 
“Off with his head”. 

Now she is most defiantly mad. 

Oh no, not good 
The queen is after me 
But why 
Why now could this be 
What did I do 
What can I do 
To stop her from beheading me? 

Oh yes that’s it 
I’ll twist the tables ‘round 
And now 
There’s no place for her to run 
Oh it seems I have won 
Her time as queen is done 
Even her own army is gone. 

But oh, I can’t 
Not even this life I can end 
But alone the rest of her life shell spend 
Banished without a friend. 

That would drive any person mad. 

I have learned through this peculiar journey 
To believe the impossible 
Open up your mind 
Open your heart as well 
And soon you’ll find 
Animals talking 
Roses painted red 
Careful now 
Try not to loose your head 
So dream your dreams 
Wish upon a star 
I may be mad as a hatter 
But hey 
The best people are.

LOL Yes, the "best people are" often seen as mad hatters. What would this world be like without the ability to see things from unique perspectives? Alice in Wonderland was one of my favorites as a child. I donned my "hatter" cap early in life. Love, Carolyn
