Filter salt in sea

Skipping beat

Alice on her feet

Grave matters

She tended

Left brain right brain no brain left

The skull only bones

 

Did they tune

Right into what’s left

Was the rune

Now just cleft

Skulls then only left bereft

Congenial theft

 

Would it fit

The brain and the wit

She pranced up

Buttercup

Not again said the Hatter

We’ve done this before

 

Don’t be sore

Hatter said Alice

Did you miss

Extra tea

I assure you you will see

Keep me company

 

How childish

She had no real brain

Hatter smiled

Going wild

Was one of delicacies

Perhaps worth the pain

 

Let it rain

Shower me golden

The mirth lost

On wizened

It was all only water

Filter salt in sea

Let me tell you how

I had chanced upon wonder

Story to be told

 

Keeping to myself

I walked the eerie forests

Thinking of the wolf

 

You see he was fierce

At least then they told me so

Don’t step on his toe

 

For he’d snap and snarl

Open wide his horrid jaws

Eat you in a bite

 

So I walked in fear

My pace so slow and cautious

Me the hunted deer

 

Suddenly he pounced

But oh it was just in glee

He yearned company

 

Feeling like an elf

I extricated myself

From his mighty paws

 

Whether glee or not

I don’t think that he forgot

Taste of our sweet meat

 

Straightening his knee

He then begged me not to flee

Laid out cutlery

 

As I quaked and shook

That twas mere wolf finery

Here I would end book

 

He then turned around

To some object on the ground

Picked it up for me

 

And lo now behold

There upon a plate of gold

Lay a piece of cake

 

I gazed at the cake

Spinach carrots and some cream

It must be a dream

 

Please would you now taste?

And if you’d have it spicy

I’ll add curry paste

 

Dead woman’s supper

Was first thought that did occur

As I took a bite

 

Oh so heavenly

I almost kissed him in joy

He was such a chef

 

I then stayed a while

With wolf that baked vegan cakes

It was tea for Two
