This poem is dedicated to MARGARET ALICE who (most days) takes on the persona of ALICE IN WONDERLAND to escape the mundaneness and boredom of the real World. <br /> <br />Come to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party <br />The table is set out under the trees <br />Come and sit down - there's plenty of room <br />Share your repast with the birds and the bees. <br /> <br />The Mad Hatter's wearing a trio of hats <br />The Dormouse is asleep - the March Hare is late <br />The Hatter is talking in riddles <br />Alice did not know - what of it to make! <br /> <br />A writing desk - why like a raven is it? ? ? <br />The Hatter consulted his large pocket clock <br />Gosh it's two days slow - where does the time go? <br />He dipped it in tea - a real clock-starting shock. <br /> <br />Dormouse started a story to tell <br />Of sisters called Lacie and Elsie and Tillie <br />Who lived down inside a large treacle well <br />Learning to draw thing beginning with 'M' - rather silly. <br /> <br />It was always 'tea-time' so they all moved around <br />Hare to Mouse to Alice to Hatter to New <br />Hatter and Hare pushed Mouse in the teapot <br />So nose in the air - haughty Alice withdrew! ! ! <br /> <br /> <br />John Knight - Still trying to solve riddles - 11 March 2011<br /><br />John Knight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0007-mad-hatters-tea-party/
