The Queen

A Queen is not truly a Queen
with out a King beside her.
Could be man or spider.
So if he starts to weave a web
"Off with his head".


Premium Member Splitting Hares

The White Rabbit while all was in bed

Snuck in the back and ate all the bread

He thought it was funny 

This silly white bunny

Till the Red Queen said...OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

Premium Member The Preying Praying Mantis

The Preying Praying Mantis

She folds her limbs and waits
  quietly.
He comes near, she waits
  silently.
They do the dance,
  Then comes her chance.
And snap!
  Off with his head
    quickly!

Ye Olde Custard Tale - Nonsense Poetry

dessert door dessert door
opens to custard and cream
but jester broke in
with bells and a spoon
. . . and
off with his head!
said the queen

dessert door dessert door
to a room of pudding galore
the king in his undies
snuck in there one night
. . . and
then went again
for some more


Bloody Mary

King Henry VIII ‘s daughter, Bloody Mary This evil queen’s mission, England’s Protestants to bury Never at night did she wake After a day yelling, “Burn him at the stake!”
* I wanted to use "off with his head" but could find no historical evidence she ever used this phrase. Only in Alice in Wonderland!

Premium Member Henry Reluctant Designated Jester

Henry never wanted to work in the castle of the king.
And he certainly did not want to be a jester, to joke or to sing.
He wanted to be a squire, but it was not to be unfortunately.
Every single night he was summoned to be the best he could be.
Tonight the piper had already been taken out with an “off with his head”.
Henry knew one misstep or unfunny joke, and he might possibly be dead.

The King's Lover

The hounds hungered but the queen wanted to bed
So she told the kind “the dogs need be fed!”
Rather than attending to this business
The king was caught with a mistress!
So the queen yelled “OFF WITH HIS HEAD!”

The jester soon entered (who had witnessed the smooches)
and said "such strange hairy lady! How she shuffles and scooches!
If I were to critique
with that grotesque physique
The king must have mistook her for one of the pooches!”

The Killling of Old Tom

The Killing of old Tom
They all gather in the barn yard.
Penny and poly pig was there with their ribbons of black
Carol the cow and Bucky the bull sang a song of Moo.
Rocky the rooster calls in the alarm with a crow.
As old tom was taken to the chopping block
The Ax was sharp yes indeed. As he raised it and down it came.
Old Billy the goat said off with his head.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and he is dinner.
The stove is ready and the killing of tom will be the end.

Premium Member Off With His Head

Tonight, I woke up screaming.
I woke up screaming your name.
Alas, I wasn't dreaming.
Another toy in your game.

It's a game you play so well,
The Red Queen of broken hearts.
Down the rabbit hole I fell,
The Mad Hatter from the start.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum,
This dual role that I once led.
A beguiled referendum,
Until the axe took my head.

Now I'm lost in Wonderland,
No Cheshire Cat grin for me.
This fate I can't understand.
What cure for such misery?

Premium Member Jokester Jester Balances Ball

Jokester Jester balances himself on the tip of a ball.
Some of the maids in waiting whispered he would indeed fall.
He was super confident, because he had mastered this trick.
It was one of his specialties, his name was Balancing Nick.

The king was not impressed, he rolled his hazel eyes instead.
Then he said in a most severe voice “Off with his head!”
The maids in waiting were astounded. They stopped tittering now.
“I am kidding!” The king told them with annoyance. “Don’t have a cow!”
