Oh, glorious new day, Alice will attend a tea <br />party with Madame La Pompadour and her <br />retinue, what happiness thinking of things <br />to say, knowing she never would <br /> <br />Madame La Pompadour the only one who tells <br />stories at these events, with many a dramatic <br />pause, enough sobbing and wiping of tears <br />to put the Crying Mock Turtle to shame <br /> <br />While the Gryphon looks on until joining in the <br />quadrille, hanging its head, reminiscing about <br />olden days, making Alice think fondly of <br />the Mad Hatter’s tea party where <br /> <br />The sleepy Dormouse was stuffed into the teapot, <br />If only, sighed Alice disconsolately, I could fall a- <br />sleep in the middle of desultory conversation, <br />wake up when it was time to leave <br /> <br />If only I were one soul with two bodies, I would send <br />one to the library, the other to attend social events; <br />or one to the swimming pool and the other to work <br />in the office all day <br /> <br />And live twice as much life as everybody else – my <br />mind in the clouds where it belongs while both my <br />bodies took care of ‘le train-train journalier’ which <br />drives me out of my mind all the time! <br /> <br /> <br />http: //wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Lobsang_Ludd <br /> <br />Monday Lobsang Ludd was born as one soul with two bodies <br />from Wen the Eternally Surprised and Lady Time. <br /> <br />Half human, half anthropomorphic personification, based <br />on the character of Tuesday Lobsang Rampa who wrote <br />many books about his life as a Tibetan Monk.<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2011-04-01-twice-as-much-life/
