Mad Hatter Inc

I am the Hatter who is mad, they say.
Gone around the bend in every way.

A loon of the sorts who adores riddles and tea, 
drowning in a land of ecstasy.

Come with me now! And please don’t fret!
I’ll show you wonders you will never forget!

I’ll show you heaven, hell and everything in between,
the moon, stars, spiraling galaxies!

A magical realm where nothing is what it seems,
rabbits in waistcoats and a viscous red queen.

My home has an abundance of enchanting food and drink,
when consumed it could make you grow tall or shrink.

I am the the mascot of this terrain.
Everyone knows me by my name.
So, let’s go and take my hand,
to a place that Alice called Wonderland!

Congrats Rebecca on your win-- I personally like this as a sweet take-off on one of the most imaginative works in literature (minor point: I believe 'waistcoat' is one word).
