The sun loomed high
As birds flew by
A forest of old
With secrets untold
Once upon a time

A rabbit, all white
Tick-tocked on by
"Too late," he said
To fate he fled
Once upon a time

The tree, it stood
A hollowed wood
A luring portal
Enticed a mortal
Once upon a time

This hidden land
Created the mad
A heartless queen
Ruled the unseen
Once upon a time

Who is she
A sniffling tween
Who followed a rabbit
A terrible habit
Once upon a time

Curiosity quelled
To fate she fell
Intending to find
What lay behind
Once upon a time

Tweedledee, tweedle hum
Another now, Tweedledum
A rather odd pair
Oddly rather rare
Once upon a time

Mistaken identity
Necessitates bravery
Alluring melody
Smokescreens clarity
Once upon a time

Along the road
She trekked, alone
A spying feline
Corrected her beeline
Once upon a time

A hare, a dormouse?
Foolery abounds
When unhappening occasions
Warrant elation
Once upon a time

Logic and reason
Flee with treason
"Look there, our neighbor!"
A hatter ill favored
Once upon a time

Mad is he
Who makes the tea
Mad is she
Who takes the tea
Once upon a time

The rabbit, the rabbit
See a habit?
To where he goes
She's yet to know
Once upon a time

Alone, she assumed
Her journey resumed
A floating smile
Followed with guile
Once upon a time

A kingdom supposed
A painted rose
A heartless queen
Ruled quite a scene
Once upon a time

To win or lose
Causes a ruse
To suffer the fate
Means losing one's pate
Once upon a time

Escape, desired
Running, required
To where she must go
The rabbit, he knows
Once upon a time

Never look round
Hare, hatter, mouse
Tweedledee, Tweedledum
Mind head and run
Once upon a time

The rabbit, he led
From fate she fled
Leaving behind
Her intended find
Once upon a time

"Good day to you,
I bid you adieu."
"No wait," she said
"I've misplaced my head."
Once upon a time

The sun loomed high
As birds flew by
Who is she
Awakened from dream
Once upon a time
