Out my door, out my house
Feet tip tapping on the wet cold ground
Through the bushes, towards the forest
Calling to Mr. Rabbit to slow his pace
He never stops or turns around
“I’m late! I’m late!” is all he keeps saying
I continue to follow, my pace quickening with his
My breathing growing faster and heavier with every step I take
A sudden darkness pounds me
The feel of nothing surrounds me
Sleep is cast over me like a shadow
I awake
A sharp pain pounds inside my side
A strange place I have awaken in
Giant mushrooms, a twisting path
Bugs almost the same size as me
I am lost I figured
And this would not have happened
If it was not for Mr. Rabbit
I walk along the twisted path
A giant blue caterpillar I encounter
He asks me to be his wife
I kindly refuse and tell him no thank you
But my “no” apparently did not suit him
A yank on my hair, now the sky is my path
And a mushroom is my new home
I am ordered to fix him a snack
Cookies and milk is my specialty
One little bite, a fall to the floor
And I am free to go on my way
I am lost I know
And none of this would have happened
If it was not for Mr. Rabbit
A Cheshire cat I meet, all lovely and sweet as can be
And he would still be that way
If I did not feed him to the Bandersnatch
For trying to make me his next meal
A trap is set under the Tumtum tree
A delicious feast I had
The Jubjub bird is sure to last me for quite awhile
Though I feel guilty about it now
I am lost, I am sure of it now
None of this would have occurred
If it was not for Mr. Rabbit
I am kidnapped once more
And taken to a castle
A grand ball is being held
A young handsome man I meet
We dance all night
And the next day I am wed to The King of Hearts
A beautiful white wedding cake is set in front of us
And something dashes from behind
Orders are sent out
And oh! I have just remembered I am late for tea
So I give my husband a kiss
And wish him a good day
We are about ready to began
But the Mad Hatter wonders where Mr. Rabbit is
“Oh, he will be late again today…” I say
“In fact he may not come at all today or tomorrow.
And the day after that and the day after that
And so on and so forth.”
