A Side of Dark Alice
-~-~-~-
What use are shoulders without a head?
No brain to think
No mouth to speak
No eyes to peek
No cheek to give
-~-~-~-
What is a child to do without her head
When she cannot wonder
When she cannot ponder
How this Tweedle says West
When the other says it's East?
-~-~-~-
They'll think me so brave at home
Tumbling down stairs
Falling from the roof
Without a single blink
Or a single peep!
-~-~-~-
How I'll amuse them
When I brush off my front and say
"Oh happy day this is
when one can fall down stairs
and still remember to feed the fish!"
And though it is not Proper English,
How they will commend me
When I still know my times-tables to twenty.
