The Good Old Days

From side to side;
the smile of the morning sun,
and the cool of the midnight moon,
amidst the sparky stars.

I grin like a Cheshire cat.

as I seat underneath Divinity’s love for the globe;
the Soft breezes blow from odorous meadows
I get filled up with
nostalgic memories,

Oh! the good old days.
my dark brown eyes,
the dark youthful skin,
my frizzy youthful hair.

Everything retreated from me.
Oh! the good sweet old days,

Am now ancient,
 My never ending epistemophilia and 
wish to give the young people optimism.
my adaptability be exhume,
and live among the folk.

Change cannot be paused,
it’s an automatic, 
it needs not your consent to transpire.

Wreathed in smiles,
about my then and now;
I go to slumber like
a bird singing on the tree.
I’ve tasted of life’s sweet wine.

Premium Member Not the Real Rabbit Hole

I fell down the rabbit hole and was shocked when I saw
The old vial with the faded label that said “lah dee dah dah”
Eat me or drink me, but good luck, you little creep.
Because I am up here, and you are down there so deep.

So this was Alice’s place, where her adventure had begun.
I thought it was going to be delightful, a whole bunch of fun.
I heard a door click and I knew I was locked into this place.
My chin began to quiver, and my heart started to race.

It is moldy and musty and smells like last month’s limburger cheese.
I knew immediately I had hit my head hard, and could not do what I please.
I struggled to get up on that table with the vial that was so far away.
Get real! Yelled a voice. Open the door, idiot, if you are going to stay!

I opened the door and the Mad Hatter’s tea part was going on strong.
He was yelling obscenities at Dweedle Dew and Dweedle You, this was wrong.
Is this Alice’s hole? I asked and there was ridiculous loud laughter from the throng.
The queen of hearts bent over and let me get a good peek at her thong.

I am in hell I thought, not Carroll’s dream or adventure book at all.
They were crazy here. I agree said the Cheshire Cat who was big and tall.
So get out of this dream, just open your eyes, and go quickly away.
But then they began to play scrabble, so I decided to stay.

Premium Member Cracker Jack Energy Wakes Me

Cracker jack energy spit spot spit spot!
Jumping me awake 
Energized, eager, energy galore.
I wake up to cartwheels, giggles and spins.
Open one eye and catch a half pirouette jump
Off the bed onto the dresser?  Giggle, giggle.

Cracker jack energy spit spot spit spot!
A happy face shadows mine.
My eyes flash open. 
I am looking into the eyes of two sprites.
No one should be this happy in the morning.
It is their M.O.
They are glad to be alive! 
Glad I am their Mom. Giggle. Giggle.

Cracker jack energy spit spot spit spot!
My arms slowly rise up, and I yawn.
They see my traitorous mouth begin its upward corner dance.
I cannot help it!  They are in my face, grinning like Cheshire Cat’s mama!
No one should be this pleased to be awoken at 5:30 a.m. but I am.

Because they are my world.
My life, my purpose, my mission, my boys.
Spit spot! Spit spot!
I jump up and race for the bathroom.
Two giggling boys right behind me.
I have not been in the bathroom alone
For four or five years.
No worries.

Premium Member Jabberwocky of a Fix To Be In

We have all been warned, but the sign was there
Staring in her face,
and nothing else was
The food could be drugged
But the sign said “eat me” and “drink me” and “be me”
So Alice did what she was told, 
Being a curious girl.
It was her first act of compliance 
Could it save her from the rabbit hole?

She was now in a world of small and tall, 
life and strife, Tweedledee and Tweedledum
It was a jazzy place, and her eyes were moving fast
Trying to take in what her imagination was bringing
Was she on cocaine then? Heroin? 
Let’s see, back in that day
I am going to guess opium….

It is a jabberwocky of a fix to be facing 
the Queen of Hearts who is yelling 
“Off with her head!” meaning you.
Soon Alice is in the full throes of imagination land
glad she followed the white rabbit.
Pink Cheshire cat, smiling, as she floats
in and out of two worlds.

To the one I seek

I cannot write of love, 
For I know nothing of it. 
So I shall write of you 
Did you know your head tilts when you listen to me?
Or when you’re anxious to get in a game you start to jump up and down?
When you are upset your eyes turn a darker blue, 
And when you’re truly hurt they flood like dams. 
Did you know when you smile, a real genuine smile, your eyes twinkle like stars. 
You smirk like the Cheshire Cat and yet there is no malice in your glint. 
You have changed my life. 
You piss me off, hurt me, drive me insane, make me cry, and yet the worst you’ve done is steal my heart. 
I’ve already said I know nothing of love, 
This is true. 
All I know is that I would burn the world for you. 
I am nothing without you. 
Friend, foe, lover, whatever the case I am yours should you want me.


Fairy Tales

I'd love to visit Munchkin land
to meet the wizard of Oz.
Its somewhere over the rainbow
so I hope I don't get lost.

Just to walk along with Dorothy
along the yellow brick road.
Meet the lion and the tin man
team up with the brainless scarecrow.

Instead of dreaming about Alice
I love to meet her in wonderland.
With Tweedledee and Tweedledum
white rabbit,talking flowers,such fun. 

In the company of the Cheshire Cat
march hare mad hatter all three.
I've heard they have great party's
even though they only drink tea.

Maybe I could visit sleeping beauty
that would be my wish.
For just one day I'd be her prince.
and wake her with a kiss.

To rouse her from her dreams
and drive away her tears.
Nothing in life would deter me
I would wait a hundred years.

Seek out the lovely snow white
join the seven dwarfs by her side.
She is the fairest in all the land
I know it's true,for mirrors never lie.

I would tell the wicked queen
to be happy with her lot.
Accept snow white is more beautiful
before things for her get to hot.

Yes I'd love to visit fairy land
and leave this world of hate.
To a land full of innocence and dreamers 
now wouldn't that be great.

Premium Member Extra Large Helping of Crow

I went home wearing my dinner.
I had egg all over my face.
Something I said had made her see red
And she dumped spaghetti over my head.
Maybe I should have said “Sorry”
But she quickly stormed from the place
Leaving me there with sauce in my hair
Trying to act as if I didn’t care.

The waitress, she tried to be helpful
But I know she wanted to laugh.
And there I just sat with my edible hat
Trying to make like the Cheshire cat.
And the restaurant, it got so quiet
Right after my big social gaffe. 
As I crossed the floor with the food that I wore
Casually making my way to the door.

	I cannot recall what I said that made her so angry.	
	I don’t understand why she wanted to make such a scene.
	But I am just thankful we didn’t order a dessert…
	At least I don’t have to wash off banana cream.

Well, my best suit was totally ruined
And my dignity looked even worse
But I didn’t dare react to the stares
As I slowly and carefully walked out of there.
And there she was next to the cashier,
Seems she’d forgotten her purse.
And I knew I was dead when she grabbed the french bread
And proceeded to smack me upside of my head…

	First course: a helping of foot.
	Open mouth, insert boot.
	Next course I guess I should go
	And chow down an extra large helping of crow.

Premium Member Vigilent Mojo

I discovered the mystery 
Of her painted runic stone 
Immediately upon opening 
The dainty envelope 
She'd so thoughtfully sealed 
With a Valentine sticker. 
With comforting impact 
It dropped unexpectedly 
Into my conveniently located hand.
(Conveniently unexpected 
And unexpectedly located, 
With immediate and comforting impact.) 
And in the moment of discovery, 
I recalled the perfect sweetness 
Of her Cheshire smile 
As she stood self-confidently 
On the sidewalk of the thoroughfare, 
Like a danger girl who had captured 
A spy boy's complete attention 
With effortless persuasion. 
That’s typical of her. 
Does her mojo ever sleep?

Neverland Over Wonderland

To the moon, Alice,
to one of the many moons…
Forget the rabbit hole for once
let’s go in a different direction,
to lands beyond imagination

Take my hand, Alice,
hold on to mine, and never let go…
Trust me as we leave reality
we’ll take that next turn to the right,
and race towards sunlight

Toss caution to the wind, Alice,
live carefree like a child would…
Cut off those ropes and hooks that bind you
don’t be scared of your own shadow,
rather, dance with it like there’s no tomorrow

Tap into laughter again, Alice,
so that fairies can frolic to its melodies…
Remember how good it feels
Cheshire cat grins—those come and go,
 but laughter lives in hearts you know

Think not of time, Alice,
escape with me where dreams are born…
Step off that cliff towards uncertainty
just fly away, boosted by happiness,
embracing adventure and silliness

To the moon, Alice,
across and over it, to the land of Never
You’ve been to the land of Wonder
and learned to grow up, but I have to say,
sometimes going back to the start shows the right way…

Premium Member Sweet Alice

Alice did you find what you're looking for
opening closed doors
Chasing white rabbits evermore
falling through the rabbit hole
Awaken and are you whole
Afraid the world will end
Is it fades into oblivion
with it's big Cheshire cat grin
Alice, did you win?
Alice did you win!

Rejecting white knights that trump
refusing logic that only stumps
politics of love leave you alone
Never will you reside in a happy home

Childless but free
Nasty Queen of Hearts all you need
off with their heads of all who disagree
Love is a sickness you never need

Alice sweet Alice so afraid
the world will end in disarray
Don't eat meat or drive a car
a polar bear will love you from afar
Alice sweet Alice everything you need
the Left for you will make it free
And that's the climate you crave
a government mommy from cradle to grave

Socialism is your new faith
Fox news is all you hate
your views you can't debate
Down the rabbit hole with no escape
The white rabbit's watch is broke
he holds his tears till he choked
The world is doom in a decade to bake
For all, you believe is news that's fake

Sweet Alice never smiles
Sweet Alice fears farting cows
Her lamps have no oil for the hour
Sweet Alice lives to be dour
