The tea is poured from empty air,

With whiskers twitching in despair!

The clock has struck a purple grin,

Let the nonsense now begin!

 

A rabbit in a ruff of lace,

With panic written on his face,

Drinks from a cup of floral bone,

While sitting on a velvet throne.

 

The Hatter grins a jagged tooth,

He’s quite forgotten every truth!

He offers cakes of dust and light,

To keep the morning out of sight.

 

Poor Alice sits in quiet dread,

While floating teapots soar o’erhead.

The sky is full of spinning gears,

And echoes of a thousand years!

 

The Cat is but a giant smile,

That stretches for a country mile.

He’s here and there and gone again,

The king of every madman’s pen!

 

So gulp the steam and eat the spoon,

Beneath the grinning, cosmic moon!

For once you’ve joined this tea-time host,

You’re nothing but a buttered ghost!

Dunking the Mouse

Dunking the Mouse

Dunking the Mouse, Oh, Dunking the Mouse,
What can be better than dunking the Mouse?
Be it with a fine friend like the Rabbit, so stout,
Or on my old lonesome, I love dunking the Mouse.
.
I open the pot and stick his head in,
And before he’s awoken he’s half the way in.
With Rabbit a-helping, we finish the job,
Then put the lid on, though Mouse is beginning to sob.
.
‘Oh please let me out’, he implore us, so meek,
But why should we do that when the tea tastes so sweet?
‘Oh give me a cup of that heavenly brew’,
Says Rabbit to me, ‘and a jam tart for you’.
.
I pour out two cups and we sit down anew,
With the tea and the tarts – and with Mouse in the brew,
Until Alice strolls by, and unsettles our ruse,
Saving Mouse from his fate and us from the noose.
