There Goes the Looking Glass

THERE GOES THE LOOKING GLASS Ae. Nelson There goes the looking glass It's shattered and yet serene The queen's out of business The dwarves look really mean There's snowy and a mountain Yet the ride was really long The apple and the eye drops Were in tears that said belong The house was simply empty With no wolf, no cubs and bare With grandma in the oven and The twin kids are always there A garden has a no one all alone The live and love was never distant With crystal balls and constant calls Always near and closer to a phone A goose was gone by morning And the eggs were in the fry Yet gold and glean glistened With an always simply in a try Then the story turns to ashes Yet a magic steals the shown In a queen who saw a vision Of just two or three to know So a capture for the moment Is in a picture that's not a tale In a fable that was not so funny In an ending of a happy or a well Yet it's jack be quick who listens With all the candles and no flame Simply for the reason in a many Yet really just two or three to name

This is a wonderful incorporation of nursery rhymes and what would happen if Alice's looking glass were shattered. It kind of feels like what's taking place in the world. Story time has never been so sad.
