What Ever Shall I Do

What Ever Shall I Do

Don’t look to long behind the curtain
The wizard hasn’t got a clue

Don’t follow a rabbit to a hole in the ground
The grave is all he’ll do

Don’t sit at the table of the mad hatter
Changing seats with worthless words

And most of all don’t follow a step into the dark woods

Don’t wait for tinker bell to take you to the promise land

You might find a hook has caught you and the alligators are close at hand

If you find your short
Then not
Don’t listen to a smoking worm

And never let the jabberwockies found out what you learned

Don’t let mice scare you from your sense of time

If your house gets bullied as it often can

Don’t expect a super to fly in and take you by the hand

Don’t let a basket of collected stuff be your only game
The crumbs left behind someone else will claim

And if you want to follow
Remember what happens to sheep

And don’t forget to be contrary you will never loose sleep

The twist of each story is to get what you have

And keep you in a place of

Never Never land
