Afternoon T-Shirt With Alice (Part 2)

But Alice wasn’t wearing gloves

When we’d all settled down

For a Tea party with Alice

Her three legged cat wasn’t from Cheshire

Only serves to remind us what pressure

Can come of arranging so many tea times

The dormouse who wasn’t asleep

Was really a computer programmer

Mused into his cream and strawberry scone

“She was nearly 20 foot tall this morning

Now look how small she has become”,

The Hatter jested, “insignificant and boring”.

 

Alice was not alarmed, dismissed feelings of guilt

She enjoyed her tea she went to meet

The Queen of hearts as previously arranged,

A lesbian love affair with her thereafter raged.

 

The White Rabbit spied a flaw in her credit card

Demanded cash for the convenience, it was hard

But then a Chartered Accountant Rabbit

Really had no choice he had to have it.

 

Having spoken so highly of the stoned caterpillar

Alice told the Queen of Hearts as they embraced

She was worried about what kind of butterfly

A caterpillar smoking a joint would turn out to be

The Queen snorted, as only Queen’s can, “Don’t be silly,

It’ll turn out to be a member of the House of Lords”.

 

His pot smoking days are numbered”, queried Alice

“Oh yes! And he’ll become just as bored”.

As all the other previously stoned caterpillars”.

Alice departed and flew through several mirrors

As the dreams started inevitably to wear off,

She was elated and slept for the rest of tomorrow.
