Madness, the Hatter blinks. 
Madness, Oz's link. 
Repercussions of concussions.
Madness was Portnoy's complaint**, 

Madness must reciprocate!

Hallucinations filter by....
Leary* winks at Dali's eye.
A house lands on Dorothy's thighs...
Chicken Little wanders by.
 
"Madness," Hitler's honcho’s sneer. 
Madness splices genes with fear. 
"Lobotomize!" becomes the cheer. 
Kellogg’s* enema's find waiting rears.

"Are you the ass? Or is it me? 
Have I ears and a nose? What do you see?"
"Hehawww," said Pinocchio's friends.
"Heeehaw," said Darwin* back again.

Round and round went Steven Hawkings*.
"Madness," said Lenore's raven* squawking.
"Madness," said Einstein* in a blink. 
"Reciprocate!," said the missing link.

Lost Dreams, Limp Watches, Mad Hatters

Lost dreams, sad songs and pain
There’s always payback
And it’s usually not pretty

One person hears 
a dissonant chord 
another hears a melodic ditty

It’s about trust…
And total devotion
Of cold water’s metallic taste

Utterly futility…the rushing about
The more you chase time
The more time you waste

Killing time
Until time 
Kills you

You’re lost or merely mislaid
With nothing left
To hold onto

Make the wind stop blowing
Enough is not too much, my sweet
You’ll always have my word

I yearn to fly 
To clouds that bleed
To fly away… like a bird


Scatter Harm Hatters

Remain receptive and objective
Though environment spins crazy
Twisting and insisting subjective
Attempting to drive away Daisy 

To coerce you to surrender
To wills and seals bent
On nurturing and culturing agenda
You feel reel Hell sent

Messages within passages manipulated
Slanted, blunted, hunted and diluted
In intermediate steps undulated
Serrated, berated, denigrated and rated

To dilute the image stalkers select
Within the ambit of malice
Meant to influence ambiences that elect
To incite sites so prone to demeaning Alice

Toppled from the pedestal in your soft centre
Where they feel Alice shouldn’t belong
Since in their view Alice shouldn't enter
Your heart in whole or in part cos they long

To coerce your heart to turn in favour of Iggy
Whom they believe meets fleets of their requirements better
Than Maggie, Peggy or Twiggy
From whom they’d received or sieved a warm love letter

Which in their assessment
Means a lot more than a quote
In your alcove and in your basement
Whether you float or gloat

Over a perceived weave of conquest
When your best vest vanquishes the rest
In heading hunting when your quest and request
Meets with success in your valley and in your crest

To attest you don’t joke or poke
Fun in meaningful matters in tuxedos or tatters
As you feel the deal of your coke
Flatters fiends and scatters harm hatters

As you discover wisdom
Beyond covers of the Bible
To free captives and natives from the thiefdom
You finally prove horrible and terrible.

Premium Member Madder Than the Other Hatters

There was much chatter about the new mad hatter
He is madder than the other, said my sister and brother
I want to meet him, I told them, intrigued by the new him.
He was a bit crazier than expected, nutty as suspected, on a whim.

How else would he have met the council’s approval? I said.
He was upside down backwards weird, named himself Odd Ted.
He could run for mayor of crazy town, I suggested immediately.
It was agreed upon unanimously, and delivered with expediency.

For if there is one thing we know about our delightful city, Crazy Town, 
It’s undeniably the weirdest, zaniest place under, over, above or down.
Mad hatter turned down our offer to make him mayor and ran away.
The sixth crazy mad hatter mayor that had gotten away that day.
