Curious Nonsense

A poem inspired by the characters of
Alice in Wonderland for Maria Melendez Perera
Curious Nonsense
There was once a girl called Alice
Who longed for a world of her own.
She had grown extremely bored
With everything she’d been shown.
She wished for animals dressed smartly
Who’d perhaps have her to tea?
But she knew in this world
These things just couldn’t be.
Until she saw a rabbit
With a pocket watch and coat
She followed him down the rabbit hole,
And across the sea in a boat.
She found herself in Wonderland
A curious place indeed!
For everything she wished for,
Herein found themselves freed.
For here she found a tea party,
Where everyone was mad.
And had the worst unbirthday
That she had ever had.
And she found a cat that was all there,
And then was not at all.
She ate a magic teacake,
That made her big and tall.
She had to drink a potion
To once again get small.
The ruler there was quite a queen,
Who wanted roses red,
And if she didn’t get them
She’d say, “Off with your head!”
When Alice was chased by the queen,
With intent to behead,
She was quite surprised to see
Herself curled in bed.
“Alice!” she cried pleadingly,
“Alice! You must awake!
For more of this curious nonsense,
I simply cannot take!”
