Using Them All
ALL THREE SUGGESTED SETS USED HERE
Have you ever felt like Alice in the Looking Glass?
It may be easily done by a memory you have passed.
Instead of a white rabbit down the hole,
It was a red balloon I was chasing, like a mole.
Someone of Royalty yelling at me "Don't be so pert"!
While we are sitting at a table, just eating dessert.
Then, with a plane ticket and a favorite flower in hand,
Roaring skyward in that balloon so grand.
Dancing onward into a pitch black room,
With its secret box going "Boom...Boom...Boom".
Ever more restless listening to that knell,
Flying over the trees of a green, green dell.
Was it Winter or Spring...I did not know,
Until the flowers came bursting through the snow.
Turning to the open window so I could see,
It was just my face in the Looking Glass staring back at me.
The smell of lilacs wafted up in the smoke,
Realizing it was only a dream...as I awoke.
