2020 Hour #11:\u00a0 After Alice<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I went down the rabbit hole<\/p>\n
Following the heroine\u2019s footsteps<\/p>\n
But I didn\u2019t need any magic potion<\/p>\n
To measure my insignificance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I settled in nicely at the Hatter\u2019s Table,<\/p>\n
Not taking up too much space<\/p>\n
From the more honored guests at tea that day<\/p>\n
As that would be impolite.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But the Cheshire cat saw through my act<\/p>\n
And threw me a sideways stare<\/p>\n
He knew I was a fraud, and with a flick of his tail<\/p>\n
Sent me on my way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the palace I faced the Queen of Hearts<\/p>\n
The execution to be swift and clean<\/p>\n
But please she said, explain yourself<\/p>\n
Before you end up dead.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My Queen, I cried, I cannot lie<\/p>\n
I am hardly a valiant Alice<\/p>\n
I wanted only a taste of this magical place<\/p>\n
And for that I am willing to die.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
