Literary mullings.


Free fall down the rabbit hole
Feel the dusty touch of book spines
Such a pleasant sensation
A marvellous way
But oh, why so lonely?

Confound these wooden doors and there's
One tea party for all
A bespectacled rabbit
 A mad hat and some brew
But oh, why so lonely?

And surely you must wonder
How different it would be
If Alice had a companion

Peer through the looking glass
 A glimpse of cold and ice
Now the adventure begins
A chessboard of play and wit
But oh, why so lonely?

Alas a quest to be conquered
And poems to be recited
Now there's a game to be won
Kings &Queens for company
But oh, why so lonely?

And surely you must wonder
How different it would be
If Alice had a companion

And she and him would bury
themselves in these pages 
and swim with the fishes
Breathe,
the dark fiery ocean bed
With love and hands held

Wouldn't it be a queer, yet strangely riveting idea? If Alice had a companion. The danger of reading Lewis Carroll and 3am ideas for poetry, as a result of.
