The Naughty Cheshire Cat

It’s such a bother to stop for a chat 
to talk to the naughty Cheshire cat;

He’s so fond of watching this mischief
disappearing eyes attest to that;
His ball of crazy? Beyond belief;

Forward just marches backward in time,
the play thing of a giggling thief;
In your eyes he squeezes sour lime; 

Better to keep a distance then pause;
You could get lost in a bed of rhyme,
fueling a Cheshire cat’s naughty clause.
