Roses are red, violets are blue...
I don't know how to finish this poem, do you?
Roses are my favorite flower. Especially red roses. I always loved roses.
So when I specifically asked my card soldiers for RED roses, I wouldn't have been too upset, but the fact that they thought I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between real red roses and painted red roses was an insult to begin with, and insults must be punished, or others may think to insult me also. But the fact that they LIED to me was inexcusable. I had let it go once before, because they were the king's favorite soldiers, but this was too much.
Punishments in Wonderland must be harsh because the people there are so insane and thickheaded that it takes something monumentous to shake them up. And if you cut off a Wonderlander's head, it will grow back. It is very painful to have your head chopped off, though, so it is a very effective punishment.
How was I supposed to know that human heads don't grow back? No one told me you had to be born in Wonderland for that to work. I didn't find out until I moved to this world that they don't grow back. By then, though, I had already ordered several men executed, so it was too late.
The roses started me on the path to the scarlet hand. A painted rose gave me the idea for the symbol, actually. I grabbed it, and then I touched something else with the same hand. The master quite liked the symbol when I suggested it to him, so it worked out quite well. that was when he decided that I could be put in charge of FAIRYport Landing. Quite an honor, actually.
When you think about it, I owe much of who I am to my roses.
